Our editorial standards
Every fact on CredentialWork comes from a platform's own public pages or an employer's listing, carries the date we checked it, and links its source. We never estimate pay, we say "Not published" when nothing is public, and a referral fee never changes a verdict, a status or the order of a list.

Where facts come from
From each platform's own public pages and from employer-posted listings, read by a person, with the page linked beside the fact and the date we read it. When pages conflict, we say so and mark the fact Unresolved until the platform settles it.
- Pay comes from the platform's own pages or an employer listing (labeled Verified), or from a worker report (labeled Self-reported).
- "Not published" means we found no public figure; "Not shown (site terms)" means the platform's terms stop us reusing it; "Not shown here" means the listings publish pay but the platform's terms bar us from showing it.
- Canada is Yes only when an official page says people in Canada can apply, No when one rules it out, Unverified when we could not confirm it and Unresolved when official pages conflict.
- A single role is open to Canada only when its own listing says so.
Dates and freshness
Listings are pulled every morning from each platform's own listings, and every role page shows the date its link was last checked. Reviews and field guides show the date they were last verified, and the structured data on each page carries the same date.
When a listing closes or we put it on hold, its page says so the same day and we stop sending people to apply. Roles whose link stops working are marked "No link" and never counted as open.
Money and independence
Some links are referral links. One plain line at the foot of every page says so, and one more beside the job board and each apply area. Every referral button has a Go direct link to the platform's own page beside it, and we never show referral amounts.
Whether a platform pays us is never part of a tier, a verdict, the reliability log or the order of any list, and no platform can pay for a place on the site. How we make money names every platform we have a referral link with.
Disclosure: our founder works at Mercor. Mercor is reviewed and ranked by the same rules as every other platform.
Who checks
Run by the CredentialWork team. AI tools help gather sources. A person checks every fact before it's published. Nobody is paid by a platform to write or review a page.
Named expert reviewers will be listed here once one is approved; until then every page is written and checked by the CredentialWork team.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix the page, update its date and add the fix to our corrections log with the day it was made. Tell us about an error from the reliability tracker or by email.
