Editorial Policy
At Pressjobs.co.za, we publish information about jobs, careers and employment opportunities in South Africa.

We aim to provide accurate, useful and easy to understand information without exaggerated claims or misleading language.

How We Create Job Articles
Our job articles are based on available vacancy information.
Where possible, we use information from employer advertisements, official recruitment pages and other reliable employment sources.
We may reorganise or explain the information to make it easier for readers to understand.
We do not intentionally change the meaning of an employer’s requirements.
Our articles may include:
- Job title
- Location
- Salary
- Qualifications
- Experience requirements
- Main responsibilities
- Required skills
- Application information
- Closing date, when available
Keeping Information Accurate
Job information can change.
An employer may change a:
- Salary
- Closing date
- Requirement
- Location
- Application method
- Job description
- Vacancy status
For this reason, readers should check the latest information with the employer before submitting an application.
Pressjobs does not guarantee that a vacancy will remain available after an article is published.
Salary Information
We clearly distinguish between confirmed salaries and estimates.
If an employer provides a salary, we describe it as the advertised salary.
If no salary is provided, we may state:
Salary: Not disclosed
If we provide an independent salary estimate, we clearly label it as an estimated salary.
An estimated salary is not an employer’s confirmed offer.
Application Information
We provide application information based on the vacancy details available to us.
This may include an official website, email address or other application method provided by the employer.
Readers should check the application instructions carefully before submitting documents or personal information.
Pressjobs does not make hiring decisions and cannot guarantee an interview, job offer or response from an employer.
Our Relationship With Employers
Pressjobs.co.za is an independent employment information website.
We are not the recruitment department of the companies mentioned in our articles unless specifically stated.
Mentioning a company on Pressjobs does not automatically mean that Pressjobs is partnered with or endorsed by that company.
No Employment Guarantee
Finding a vacancy on Pressjobs does not guarantee employment.
The employer is responsible for deciding which candidates are interviewed and appointed.
Our role is to provide useful information that can help readers understand employment opportunities.
Useful and Original Content
We aim to provide more than a simple copy of a job advertisement.
Our articles may explain:
- What the job involves
- What a typical workday may include
- Which qualifications are required
- What experience may be relevant
- Which skills are useful
- How candidates can prepare their CV
- What candidates should consider before applying
We do not add unnecessary information simply to make an article longer.
Our priority is usefulness and clarity.
Clear and Honest Language
We avoid misleading statements about:
- Salaries
- Job availability
- Employers
- Qualifications
- Closing dates
- Application results
- Employment guarantees
We also avoid presenting an estimate or opinion as confirmed employer information.
Updating Articles
When reliable new information becomes available, we may update an article.
Updates may include:
- Correcting factual errors
- Updating application details
- Updating closing dates
- Adding important information
- Marking a vacancy as closed
- Removing outdated information
Older vacancies may remain on the website as reference material, but readers should not assume that they are still open.
Corrections
We take factual accuracy seriously.
If you notice an error in a Pressjobs article, you can contact us with the relevant information.
Where the correction can be verified, we may update the article.
External Sources
Some articles may refer readers to official employer websites or recruitment pages.
External sources can help readers verify the latest vacancy information.
Readers should always make sure they are using a legitimate recruitment channel before sharing personal information.
Personal Information
Job seekers should be careful when sharing personal information online.
Before submitting a CV, identification documents or other personal information, check that the application channel belongs to the relevant employer or an authorised recruitment service.
Pressjobs does not encourage readers to publish sensitive personal information in public areas of the website.
Sponsored Content
If Pressjobs publishes sponsored or commercial content, it will be identified appropriately.
Sponsored content should not be presented as independent editorial information.
Use of Technology and AI
Technology and AI tools may sometimes assist with research, drafting or editing.
However, AI generated information is not automatically considered accurate.
Important job details are reviewed against available vacancy information before publication where reasonably possible.
Editorial Independence
Our goal is to provide employment information that is useful to job seekers.
We do not intentionally write articles to guarantee employment outcomes or misrepresent an employer.
Our editorial approach focuses on:
Accuracy
Clarity
Useful information
Responsible reporting
Easy to understand content
