MindFire publishes original guides written by an editor with direct experience in <strong class="text-gray-200">AI for job search</strong>.
          We do not accept guest posts, paid placements, or AI-generated filler.
          Every guide is reviewed against current public-source evidence before publication;
          pricing and platform data refresh at minimum quarterly.

Where this site links out to the parent product <a rel="sponsored noopener" href="https://jobhunterbot.net/?utm_source=mindfire" class="text-brand-light underline underline-offset-2 hover:text-brand">JobHunterBot</a>,
          those links carry <code class="rounded bg-white/5 px-1 py-0.5 text-xs">rel="sponsored noopener"</code> and a UTM tag, per the
          anti-PBN link-hygiene policy defined in Epic 9 Story 9.14. Theme-adjacent satellites cross-link
          only when the linked material is directly relevant; non-adjacent satellites do not link.

Sources are cited inline with the link text identifying the publishing organisation
          (e.g., "Harvard Business School", "Glassdoor Transparency Report", or the ATS vendor's own
          documentation). Outdated or incorrect facts get a correction edit and a `lastmod` front-matter
          bump so readers and crawlers see the update date on the page.
