Search starts with target roles, not a list of vacancies

AI can help group vacancies and formulate search hypotheses, but the decision about role, level, work format, and acceptable trade-offs stays with the person.

Instead of mass submissions, build a small set of role families. For each one, name expected responsibility, evidence, constraints, and what still needs verification.

  • A role family describes recurring responsibility rather than only a vacancy title.
  • A search hypothesis includes a signal source, a priority criterion, and one bounded next action.
  • Compensation, location, format, domain, and seniority are constraints, not hidden assumptions.
  • Mass automation, impersonation, and unsupported hiring claims are outside a safe workflow.
