HireSetu Editorial Policy for Job Listings

Purpose

This policy explains our editorial standards so candidates, reviewers, and partners understand what "verified" means on HireSetu and where human judgment applies.

Sources we use

Opportunities may be identified from official company career pages, public hiring announcements, recruiter posts on professional networks, and other legitimate public recruitment sources. We do not publish private or paywalled information obtained improperly.

Discovery is not publication

Technology-assisted discovery helps find candidates for review. HireSetu operator Prashanth Jakkula manually selects opportunities before they appear publicly. Most discovered items never publish.

Review checklist

Before publication we review company identity, role title, location, experience band, application method, and source traceability where available. Listings missing critical apply information are held back.

Verification meaning

"Verified" on HireSetu means the listing ties to an identifiable public employer source and passes our quality checks — not that every requirement, salary figure, or deadline was confirmed by phone with the employer.

How a job page is put together

Every job page has three layers, kept visibly apart:

• The employer's posting. Shown under "From [Company]'s job posting" in the employer's own words. We fix formatting only (headings, bullets, spacing) and do not rewrite it.
• HireSetu's note. A two-sentence quick answer and a short note on what the role involves, what the posting asks for, and what to check before applying. An AI model (DeepSeek) drafts it from the employer's posting. Prashanth Jakkula reads each note against the posting before it goes live and edits or removes anything the posting does not support. Every note is labelled as AI-drafted.
• Facts and estimates. Experience, work mode and deadlines come from the posting. Salary figures are HireSetu estimates and are always labelled as estimates, because almost no employer in India publishes pay.

A job without the employer's own posting text is not published. Pages whose posting is very short stay available to candidates but are kept out of search results.

AI in articles and tools

Career Insights and Ground Truth articles are written and reviewed by Prashanth Jakkula. AI tools may help with research, outlining and editing, and every article is checked by hand before publication. The AI Resume Optimizer sends the resume and job text you provide to DeepSeek (Google Gemini can be used as an alternative provider); see the Privacy Policy. AI output is a draft, and you decide what to submit.

Career Insights and reports

Original articles under Career Insights are written for education about hiring mechanics. Hiring reports summarize published inventory snapshots and are labeled by period and scope.

Updates and removals

Listings refresh through monitoring and operator review. Stale, duplicate, or reported listings may be updated, marked, or removed. Submit corrections via Report a Job.

Conflicts and corrections

When employers notify us of errors, we prioritize corrections that protect candidates from misleading apply flows. Email contact@hiresetu.org for urgent editorial issues.

Candidate reports via Report a Job enter the same integrity queue. Provide HireSetu and employer URLs so reviewers can compare sources quickly.

Advertising does not override editorial decisions. Google AdSense may fund free browsing, but it does not choose which jobs publish.
