How Olive Jobs writes its answers

These answers are written by Olive's editorial pipeline and checked against a published standard before anything goes live.

Each page answers one question. The first paragraph is the whole answer, written to stand on its own if you read nothing else — everything after it is the mechanism, the edge cases, and what to do about them. Pages are drafted by a language model against a written contract, then checked by a second model and by a deterministic gate that fails the page rather than publishing a weaker one.

What these pages will not do

No invented statistics, studies, or salary figures. A number that describes the world carries a link to the primary source it came from, and a page with nothing solid to cite says so instead of rounding a guess into a fact. No named employer's interview loop, policy, or pay. No claim about what an applicant tracking system does internally. No invented person, and no example built to read as a real one.

Where a question touches law, immigration, or money, the page says plainly that it is general information rather than advice, names the official source you can check yourself, and carries no product link at all. Rules change and vary by jurisdiction — confirm with an official source or a qualified professional before acting.

Dates, edits, and corrections

The date on a page is the date its text last changed, not the date a build ran. We don't restamp pages to look fresh, and we don't claim a human reviewer where there wasn't one. A page that stops being true gets rewritten or taken out of the index; a page that never earned its place gets folded into the one that did.

Found something wrong? Tell us — corrections to a specific page are the fastest thing we act on.
