What happens during review
Our team checks:
- Clarity: Is the job clear and understandable?
- Completeness: Are all important details included?
- Accuracy: Does the listing match the role?
- Trust: Is compensation transparent? Company verifiable?
- Quality: Does it meet platform standards?
This protects developers from low-quality or misleading listings.
Possible reasons for delay
Normal delays

- Weekend: Reviews may pause over weekends
- Holiday: May be slower during holidays

Issues requiring changes
- Missing compensation: We may ask you to add it
- Unclear requirements: Clarification needed
