Ask any pilot who has run a serious search: the worst part isn't rejection, it's applying into a void. The role was filled six weeks ago, the posting lingers, and nobody is accountable for the difference.
The rule
Every listing on Rotation links to the operator's own posting, and every link is re-checked on a daily cycle. When a posting disappears, redirects, or stops matching the role it described, the listing closes here within 24 hours of detection. No exceptions, no "archived but still visible" purgatory.
Why boards keep dead listings
Stale listings inflate inventory, and inventory is what most boards sell. A board paid by the posting has no incentive to delete one early; a board paid for outcomes does. The incentive problem, not the technology, is why the median job board carries listings that have been dead for weeks.
What "verified live" means here
The stamp on a listing shows when its link last passed a check, in hours. The market stats page publishes the same data in aggregate — median check age across all live listings, and the share checked within each window. If those numbers ever drift, you'll see it before we explain it.
The discipline costs us inventory. An eighteen-listing market that's real beats a five-hundred-listing market that's archaeology.
