Questions about using JobSiteDir

Start here if you want to understand how the directory works, why some labels look the way they do, or how to ask for a correction.

1

What is JobSiteDir for?

JobSiteDir is a recruitment website directory and data service. Use it to research unfamiliar markets, compare job boards across regions, and discover local or specialist channels beyond the sites you already know.

Browse by market, industry, role, or audience, then compare recorded profile details.
View public previews, unlock available profile data, or request a custom dataset.
Job posting, candidate matching, and hiring take place through the platforms you choose.
Recorded job counts and traffic estimates support research; they are not a live vacancy feed or a promise of hiring results.
2

What can I see without an account?

Browse and search without an account. Public profiles show selected coverage, industries, features, similar sites and official links. Where available, they also show monthly visit estimates, a simple three-month curve, rankings, traffic level, job signals and the largest visitor market.

Visit estimates and the simple three-month curve come from dated snapshots, not live traffic.
Visitor geography is separate from the countries a job site serves.

What does unlocking a profile add?

Unlock a site to view and download all available fields we can share, including detailed traffic metrics, recorded trends, full lists and source details where available.

Check each site’s full-profile preview before unlocking. It lists recorded and missing information. Signing in or unlocking does not fill gaps or confirm current prices. The public sample is permanently open and uses no slot.
Missing, estimated or old data is marked where possible; unlocking is not a fresh verification of every field.

How does the free 50-site allowance work?

Sign in to JobSiteDir with Google to unlock up to 50 different sites in total. Each new site uses one slot. Slots do not reset or transfer to another site; repeat visits and downloads use no extra slots.

A brand with several independent site profiles uses one slot for each site you unlock.
Download up to 50 unlocked profiles at a time in CSV or JSON.
5

Can I request a larger or custom dataset?

Email support@jobsitedir.com with your countries, industries, required fields and approximate number of sites. We’ll confirm availability, delivery format, scope and price before work is agreed.

Historical data and regular updates depend on available records and an agreed scope.
VIP subscriptions are not available yet.

How is JobSiteDir different from other job board directories?

JobSiteDir brings site descriptions, coverage, hiring focus, brand relationships, and available traffic estimates together for recruitment website research. Explore unfamiliar markets, expand your local channel list, and choose available profile data to view or download.

Profile pages explain what a site is, not just where it links
Browse by region, industry, job role and audience
Signals are designed to help compare specialist boards with broad platforms
7

Why might your region, industry, or type labels differ from what a site says about itself?

We use the site’s recorded coverage and listing content to choose labels. A site may serve several markets or industries, so a broad label can be more useful than its homepage slogan.

Geography can reflect actual hiring reach, not just headquarters or domain name
Industry can stay broad when the listings do not support a narrow specialty claim
Site type is based on platform behavior, not only homepage wording
8

Why does JobSiteDir sometimes show a cautious job count instead of a big number?

We do not force a precise number when the public evidence is weak. If a site only exposes partial listings, unstable filters, or gated search, we prefer a cautious summary over a misleading exact number.

Public count signals can be incomplete, hidden, or inconsistent
A lower-confidence estimate is better than a misleading exact number
Job count display is intentionally simple even when internal evidence is more complex
9

How often is JobSiteDir data updated?

We do not treat every field as a fixed monthly overwrite. Different signals refresh on different cycles. High-change fields can refresh faster, while stable identity and category fields are only replaced when new evidence is strong enough.

Fast-moving listing and activity signals can update more often
Identity and classification changes require stronger evidence
Verified corrections can be prioritized when they materially improve a profile
10

Can newer low-quality data overwrite older better data?

No, not by default. Our update rules are designed to protect stronger existing facts from being replaced by weak signals such as blank pages, temporary access limits, crawler errors, or shallow snapshots.

Weak runs should not erase a stronger prior classification
Temporary site issues are treated as lower-confidence evidence
Manual review and higher-quality passes can still correct old mistakes
11

What is your practical data update rule?

We compare new observations with the current profile before changing a field. Missing or contradictory information is kept for review rather than treated as a confirmed replacement.

High-confidence updates can promote new facts into the profile
Low-confidence updates are allowed to fill gaps but not damage stronger fields
The public page stays simple even though the decision process uses multiple signals
12

Can job board owners request corrections or explain a mismatch?

Yes. If a page is incomplete, outdated, or clearly wrong, owners and operators can contact us with verifiable details. We review correction requests, but we do not auto-publish claims that conflict with stronger observable evidence.

Ownership, branding, and scope corrections are supported
Supporting links and evidence help us review faster
Editorial review still applies before a profile is changed
13

What happens when I contact JobSiteDir?

Our contact page opens a pre-filled email draft in your mail app. Use it for directory corrections, ownership questions, custom data requests, or data partnerships. You can review the message before sending it.

The email draft goes to support@jobsitedir.com
You can use it for corrections, ownership, or questions about data coverage and delivery
We usually reply with the next step or the information we still need
14

Why does the number of sites on the homepage change?

The homepage total counts entries currently shown in the directory. A brand with several member sites may appear as one entry, so this total can be lower than the number of individual site profiles. The number can go up or down as we add sites, review existing listings, and update brand groups.

Newly listed sites can increase the total. Updates to an existing profile do not add another entry.
A review can remove a listing when evidence confirms that it has closed, is unrelated to recruitment, or advertises only the operator’s own jobs.
Public job boards run by associations, media, universities or government bodies can qualify when they serve external employers. Brand members and niche channels are judged on the same basis.
Low estimated traffic, temporarily empty job listings, missing prices or a blocked page alone are not reasons to remove a site. Inconclusive evidence goes to further review.
Grouping several sites under one brand can reduce the total without removing their member profiles. Changes to a group can also increase the total.
Pages may refresh at different times, so you may briefly see different totals while cached pages catch up.

What does the Markets count on the homepage mean?

The Markets number counts distinct market labels used across platforms in our directory. A market label can be a regional grouping such as Asia-Pacific or Europe, or a country-level code such as US, GB, or IN. Platforms that operate across a broad region without pinpointing a single country are tagged with the regional label rather than broken into individual countries. This means the Markets count reflects observable coverage, not a raw country count.

Regional labels like Asia-Pacific or Europe each count as one market
Country-level labels like US, IN, or GB count as individual markets
Platforms with truly global scope are tagged Global, which also counts as one market
The count can rise or fall as listings and their recorded market coverage change
