Editorial policy

Who writes the content

Every article, landing page and FAQ on this site is written or commissioned by the TAILOR editorial team (see About TAILOR for the operating company). AI tools are used as a drafting aid where they accelerate the writing without changing the substance, but every published page is reviewed and edited before going live. We do not publish AI-generated copy unsupervised.

What we publish about

Our scope is intentionally narrow: the UK job application process. Specifically:

• How UK applicant tracking systems work and what gets past them in 2026
• How UK recruiters scan CVs in seven seconds and what survives that scan
• Sector-specific CV conventions (NHS person specs, Civil Service Success Profiles, teaching applications, healthcare bands, etc)
• Situation-specific CV advice (redundancy, career change, returning to work, after 50)
• Cover letter, interview preparation, and 30/60/90-day plan structures used in UK hiring

We don't publish about US-specific job-search conventions, visa processes, legal advice, or financial advice. When a question touches those areas, we either flag the boundary or stay silent. We'd rather have nothing to say than something inaccurate.

How we fact-check

Specific claims are checked against primary sources before publication:

• UK government and statutory bodies for Civil Service application processes, DWP / Job Centre policy, NHS hiring conventions, equality law, employment rights.
• Recognised industry sources for ATS market share, recruiter behaviour studies, hiring trend data (Workday, Greenhouse, LinkedIn Talent Solutions, Recruitment & Employment Confederation).
• The team's direct sector experience where the claim is professional judgement rather than a hard fact. These are flagged in tone (we say "in our experience" or "we've found", not "studies show").

When we can't verify a claim to that bar, we don't publish it. When we discover a published claim is wrong, we update the page and note the correction at the bottom. Email support@tailor-get-noticed.com if you spot something that needs correcting.

How we keep content current

UK hiring conventions move slowly but they do move. We review every published page at least once every six months and update where the underlying ground has shifted. Where a page references a specific year (e.g. "in 2026, the typical UK CV is..."), the year stamp tells you when the page was last substantively reviewed. Pages without a year stamp are evergreen by intent.

We don't game freshness signals by changing dates on pages whose substance hasn't changed. If a page hasn't been updated, the timestamp reflects that.

Conflicts of interest

TAILOR makes its money from a CV-tailoring subscription and one-off pack. Every page on the site has a commercial interest in the reader trying TAILOR, and we don't hide that. What we don't do:

• Recommend TAILOR for use cases it doesn't fit (e.g. US-specific applications, executive search at the senior partner level, internal promotions where the CV isn't the gate)
• Misrepresent competitor tools to make TAILOR look better. Where we name a competitor, we describe them fairly.
• Pay for or solicit fake reviews. Star ratings on this site come from real users via the in-app rating modal, moderated for spam before being shown publicly.
• Use undisclosed affiliate links. Outbound links on this site point where they point because we think they're useful, not because we're paid to link.

User-generated content

Customer reviews, ratings and any quoted feedback shown on the site come from real verified users. They go through admin moderation in our review process (approve / hide / hold) before appearing on public surfaces, primarily to filter spam and abuse, not to suppress critical feedback. Critical-but-honest reviews are published; only outright spam, abuse, or unverifiable claims are withheld.
