Every figure has a source

Each salary, rate, timeline and provider fact links to a source we opened, with the access date. If we cannot verify something, we leave it out.

Labels on pay data

Official statistics, search-firm samples and recruiter estimates measure different things. We say which is which next to each figure, and we note when the publisher earns fees from placements.

Templates are starting points

The job description, interview questions and contract checklist are editorial templates. They draw on published sources but are not legal advice. Where a point depends on law, such as worker classification, we cite the official guidance and say that rules differ by country.

Fair to every provider

Each provider is described with its strengths, limits and the buyers it suits, in the same neutral language. No provider pays to appear or to be ranked, and there are no affiliate links.

How we use AI tools

AI tools assist with research and drafting on this site. Before any page is published, an editor checks each fact against the source it cites.

Corrections

If something is wrong or out of date, tell us. We fix verified errors quickly and record the change on the page.
