Editorial Standards
How SignalGigs decides what to publish, where the data comes from, and what we do when we get something wrong. Last updated 2026-10-13.
What we publish
SignalGigs publishes two kinds of content: AI training job listings aggregated from public sources, and editorial reports and analysis written in-house. Listings are refreshed regularly; editorial reports (the Friday Flash and its sister posts) are dated when published, with occasional one-off reports on pay data, platform changes, and industry trends.
Sourcing — listings
Job listings on the site are collected automatically from public postings on the source platforms’ own job boards. We do not republish private postings, internal HR pages, or listings behind login walls. Pay rates, location, and skill requirements are parsed from the source posting; pay is shown as stated there and labeled Pay varies when the source omits a number.
When a role disappears from its source we close it here once it has been missing across several refreshes, so a role that has just closed can stay listed for a while.
Sourcing — editorial reports
Reports (the Friday Flash, pay-data analyses, platform spotlights) draw exclusively on the public listing data we already track plus our own observations from running the platform. We do not pay for sources. No platform pays to be listed here, and we publish no sponsored content; how referral commissions affect the order of listings is set out under Editorial independence below. When we cite an external study or article we link to the original.
We write platform-agnostic descriptions of pay tiers and role types in editorial content — for example, “hedge fund expert roles at $200/hr” rather than naming a specific source platform — to avoid implying any platform paid for the placement.
Checks + fact-checking
The listing figures in an editorial report (counts of listings, average pay, top-of-range, week-over-week deltas) are computed from the listing database at the time of publication. The queries that produce those numbers run against the same production data the public-facing site reads from — there’s no separate “editorial copy” of the data.
Listings are not individually checked by a person. Automated quality audits flag placeholder titles, empty descriptions, duplicate URLs, and broken referral links, and a newly collected listing stays off the public site until its description has passed our automated content checks.
Editorial independence
SignalGigs earns referral commissions when readers click through and sign up at certain platforms (Mercor, Micro1, Handshake AI, Alignerr, Turing). About 52% of Apply links carry a referral code. The disclosure is the note beside the Apply button on each job page whose link carries one, and our About page.
Commissions do affect what you see first. On list pages, roles from platforms that pay us a referral commission are shown ahead of roles from platforms that do not. The featured roles on the homepage are drawn from those platforms too.
What we write is separate from that. The headline of the Friday Flash, and whether a platform is reviewed positively or critically, are decided independently of the commission relationships. We do not exclude unfavorable information about partner platforms or accept editorial guidance from them.
