Sponsored Content Policy
What is Sponsored Content?
Sponsored content refers to articles, reports, or other editorial material that is created in partnership with or commissioned by an advertiser. Unlike traditional advertising, sponsored content provides valuable information while highlighting relevant products or services.
Our Standards
All sponsored content published on Careers Insider must meet the following criteria:
- Editorial Value: Content must provide genuine value to our readers
- Factual Accuracy: All claims and information must be verifiable
- Clear Disclosure: Sponsored relationships are prominently disclosed
- Reader First: Content serves reader interests, not just advertiser goals
