Decision guides
Job decision guides
Use these guides to understand what puntWork can prove from live job inventory, what is sampled from listings, and what you should still verify before applying.
Evidence labels you will see on puntWork
These labels are the bridge between job listings and the decision guides. They tell you how strong the underlying evidence is before you act on it.
- Source pay values
- Pay or salary text came from the job source. Use it as listing evidence, then confirm it on the partner application page.
- Sampled listings
- The answer comes from visible or inspected listings, not necessarily the full market. Treat it as a useful sample, not a universal claim.
- Active aggregate counts
- Counts come from the filtered active inventory, so they are strongest for market size, category mix, and nearby alternatives.
- Updated today
- The page was refreshed recently, but the partner page can still change first. For applications, verify final details at the source.
