How we check platforms and jobs

We check platforms against their own public pages and employer-posted listings, date every fact and link its source. Listings are pulled every morning, and closed roles are marked the same day. Tiers show how deeply we have reviewed a platform, never who pays us, and pay is shown only when it is published.

Tiers and verdicts

Tiers show how deeply we have reviewed a platform, not who pays us. Tier 1 is a full review with a dated log, Tier 2 a shorter review with a narrower fit, Tier 3 a directory entry only, and Flagged platforms are listed with a warning and never promoted.

A verdict needs a finished review. Until a person finishes one, a platform stays Unverified, even when its pay is verified.

Pay labels

Pay comes from each platform's own pages or employer-posted listings (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 from reusing it, and "Not shown" means the only figures we have come from single job listings. "Not shown here" means the listings publish pay but the platform's terms bar us from showing it. We never estimate or average pay, and advertised rates are not earnings.

Eligible from Canada?

Every review and field guide says whether people in Canada can apply: Yes only when an official page says so, No when an official page rules it out, Unverified when we could not confirm it, and Unresolved where official pages conflict and we are still checking. Each answer names its source and the date we read it.

For single roles we go by the listing's own location text, and we never call a role open to Canada unless its listing says so.

Job listings

Listings are pulled every morning from each platform's own listings. Each role has its own page with the official link; when a listing closes or we put it on hold, its page says so and we stop sending people to apply. For platforms whose terms limit reuse, we show only the title, platform and location, and link to the official listing.

Referral links

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.

Who checks

The CredentialWork team runs the site. AI tools help gather sources; a person checks every fact before it is published. You can report a correction from the reliability tracker.
