Sourcing policy

Some listings on No Varnish were not posted by the employer. We found them on other job boards and copied them here so the feed was not empty on its first day. Every one of them says so on its face.

What a sourced listing is

• Marked with an outlined pill naming where it came from
• Linked to the original, which is also where the apply button sends you
• Never shown with a verified badge, because nobody at the company has proved anything to us
• Written as a short summary in our own words rather than a copy of the employer’s description
• Showing the pay the source published, or saying plainly that the source did not publish any

Sourced listings sit in the feed in the same place as any other. They get no boost and no penalty.

If this is your company’s role

You can claim it. Verifying an email address at the company’s own domain transfers the listing to you, and from then on you control it exactly as if you had posted it: edit it, close it, renew it, see its stats. Claim links are valid for 30 days and can be used once.

Or you can have it removed. There is no verification requirement and no negotiation. Ask by replying to any email we sent you, by using the opt-out link in it, or through the report link on the listing itself. We archive the listing and add your address and your whole domain to a permanent do-not-contact list.

Removal is offered as prominently as claiming, on purpose. If the only easy path were the one that benefits us, the practice would not be defensible.

If we emailed you

We send at most one message about a sourced listing, plus a single follow-up a week later, and then nothing further from that address ever again. We write only to role-based addresses that the company itself has published — the kind printed on a careers page. We do not buy contact data, we do not guess at personal addresses, and we do not enrich what we have.

What happens when it expires

An unclaimed sourced listing runs its normal course and then archives like any other. We do not quietly extend it. If the role is still open at the source and worth re-listing, we check the original again and create a new listing rather than reviving the old one.

Questions about a specific listing are best raised through the report link on that listing, which puts it in front of a person the same day. The privacy page covers what we store about outbound contacts.

This is a demonstration project. The listings on it are illustrative rather than sourced from real boards.
