Editorial Standards

The sourcing, review, and trust standards for CareerPigeon guides.

Primary sources first

When we give you a number, we trace it back to where it actually came from, like the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the original study, not to whoever quoted it last.

No laundered statistics

You've seen the scary hiring stats with no real study behind them. If we can't find where a number came from, we don't repeat it as fact.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help draft and research, then fact-check every piece against primary sources and review it ourselves before we publish. We judge a piece by whether it is accurate, well-sourced, and genuinely useful to you.
