Sources and provenance
IR35Careers obtains vacancy information from employer applicant-tracking systems, authorised job-board APIs and contract-search providers. We keep a source identifier and original application link so the advertiser's page remains the final reference.
We do not bypass authentication, CAPTCHAs, paywalls or provider access controls. A listing on IR35Careers is not an endorsement of the advertiser.
Quality, deduplication and freshness
- Contract and UK-location gates remove clearly irrelevant permanent or non-UK roles.
- Source identifiers prevent repeated imports; a secondary similarity check reduces cross-source duplicates.
- Successful fetches refresh a last-seen time. Listings not seen for the configured stale period are removed from public results.
- Search can still contain withdrawn, changed or mislabelled roles between source updates. Always check the original page.
The Jobs page shows when the search response was refreshed and distinguishes stated facts from information that is unavailable.
IR35 classification
Every contract-detail page distinguishes advertiser-stated wording from an arrangement-derived signal or a stored source/review label that cannot be reproduced from the current text. It also shows the matching phrase where available and the latest source-evidence date.
We do not infer Outside IR35 merely from words such as contract, limited company or day rate. The end client is responsible for a status determination where the off-payroll rules require one, and actual working practices remain important.
Rates, skills and workplace
Rates are parsed from the source text and displayed using the most plausible unit, such as daily, hourly or annual. Implausible values are withheld or reclassified rather than presented as fact. Skills and remote/hybrid/on-site labels are extracted and normalised for comparison; they may not capture every requirement or attendance detail.
Applications, corrections and removals
Applications start inside IR35Careers. After your explicit approval, the application runner enters the exact materials you reviewed into supported public employer forms. A role is marked Applied only when the employer page returns a recognisable confirmation. Sign-in, verification, security and unanswered personal questions pause the application for your attention.
Use Contact to report an expired role, incorrect status/rate, duplicate, unsafe destination or rights concern. Include the IR35Careers URL and a short explanation so it can be reviewed efficiently.
