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

How is JobSiteDir different from other job board directories?

Most directory sites are flat link lists. JobSiteDir is built to help you narrow the right channels faster. We organize sites by market, hiring scope, brand, and niche so you can compare options before spending time or budget.

Profile pages explain what a site is, not just where it links
Taxonomy is built for hiring decisions across region, industry, function, and audience
Signals are designed to help compare specialist boards with broad platforms
2

Why do some labels on JobSiteDir look different from common market perception?

Because we do not rely on brand slogans alone. A site may describe itself one way, but the public pages, geography, hiring patterns, or listing structure may point to a different practical fit for recruiters.

We separate brand positioning from observable platform behavior
A niche board can still be cross-industry if its listings are broad in practice
A platform tied to China hiring may still show another country if the current evidence points there
3

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

We prefer consistent comparison rules over self-description. When a platform serves multiple markets, mixes audience segments, or has broad hiring coverage, we may use the most supportable label instead of the most flattering label.

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
4

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
5

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
6

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
7

What is your practical data update rule?

We keep the latest useful truth, not simply the latest write. New data is compared against the current profile. If it is stronger, it can refresh the page. If it is weaker, partial, or contradictory without enough support, it is held back.

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
8

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
9

What happens when I contact JobSiteDir?

Our contact page opens a pre-filled email draft in your mail app. We use that route for directory corrections, ownership questions, shortlist help, and partnership requests so you can review the message before you send it.

The email draft goes to support@jobsitedir.com
You can use it for corrections, ownership, or shortlist questions
We usually reply with the next step or the information we still need
10

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 will grow over time as more platforms are profiled with precise market data
