Editorial policy.

Who writes here

Every essay is written by a named member of the Connecting Odds editorial team: working recruiters, hiring managers, and product engineers with first-hand experience of the platforms and workflows we cover. We do not accept ghost-written guest posts, and we do not publish machine-generated filler content. When a piece is a first-person account, the author's role is disclosed at the top of the post.

How we research

Claims of fact are sourced from primary documents (platform documentation, published pricing pages, regulatory filings) or from direct conversations with named practitioners. Statistics are dated and linked. When we say "recruiters we talked to", it means a specific, non-anonymous conversation with at least three working recruiters, not a survey of tweets.

Two-editor review

Every essay is reviewed by at least one second editor before it ships. The reviewer checks the claims of fact against the sources, flags any comparison that could be read as unfair, and confirms that competitors are named accurately. If we cannot verify a claim, we remove it.

Corrections and updates

If a reader flags a factual error, we fix it in-place and add a dated "Updated on" note at the top of the post. We do not silently edit posts. Significant reversals get a full editor's note. To report a correction, email editorial@connectingodds.com.

Conflicts of interest and sponsorships

Connecting Odds is a product, and many of the essays here compare our product with others. We disclose that context in every relevant piece. We do not accept paid placements, we do not publish sponsored posts, and we do not participate in paid backlink exchanges. Affiliate links, when used, are disclosed inline.

Advertising standards

Display advertising on the blog (when enabled) is served through reputable networks, labelled clearly as "Advertisement", separated from editorial content by generous spacing, and never placed inside or adjacent to clickable elements. We do not run interstitial, pop-under, or auto-refresh formats. We do not run ads on legal pages, on account pages, or on any surface where advertising could be confused with a product action.

Privacy and data

The blog is a public read surface. It does not require sign-in and does not collect personal information beyond what is necessary to deliver the page. Analytics is aggregate and cookieless. See our privacy policy and cookies policy for the full details.

Reader feedback

We read every message. If a piece changed your mind, or if you think we got something wrong, we want to hear from you. Reach the editors via /contact or reply to any of our authors inside Connecting Odds.
