Why one job appears once
The same requirement posted to five boards is one row, with the count of what merged into it.
One requirement is often posted to five places at once. Left alone, that is five rows, five apparent opportunities and one embarrassing moment when two recruiters submit to the same role.
The number on a row
It is how many source postings were merged into that one requirement. A four means four sources carried the same role — which is itself useful: it says something about how hard that vendor is working the requirement.
Certain merges happen; uncertain ones wait
- Dry runWorks out what would merge and reports it, writing nothing. Safe to press at any time — it is the preview.
- DeduplicateThe same pass, but it writes. Near-certain matches merge; anything less goes to the review queue rather than being decided quietly.
- Review queuePairs that look like duplicates without being certain. Each shows a score out of 100 and the reasons beside it, and waits for a person.
Merging two different roles silently removes work nobody knows is gone. That is why the uncertain ones wait rather than taking the most likely answer.
Frequently asked
What score usually merges on its own?
Ninety and above, with the reasons listed beside it so a decision can be argued with rather than trusted.
Can a merge be undone?
The sources behind a requirement are kept, so what merged is always visible rather than lost inside one row.
Why do I have requirements from only one source?
Because nothing merged into them. The multi-source filter hides those, leaving only the ones where merging actually happened.
