The people behind the promise
1,605 retained specialist adverts move through 10 connected practice families, while 138 named roles reveal how employers divide the work of finding, shaping, writing, pricing and keeping a promise.
THE EDITION OPENED
Movement remains attached to source and unit.
Specialist advertised-role observations, salary histories, public guidance, professional standards and recruitment research are timestamped and kept in separate evidence layers. Search-route overlap and uncertainty remain visible.

Boundaries retained
Online advertisements are not equivalent to official vacancies, posts, hires or people.
Specialist search routes overlap, employer titles vary and the retained sample is not added into a supposed market total.
Source profiles are public career guidance, not a census of how every employer defines a role.
The bidcraft matrix is a disclosed practice model, not a labour-market count or professional standard.
Public salary measures use stated pay only and are not the same as negotiated or total reward.
Procurement activity describes operating context and is never added to role or vacancy measures.
ATS pathways are disclosed interactive scenarios, not measured recruitment conversion rates.
No employer motive, applicant quality, employability, appointment outcome or causal explanation is inferred.
