What happens every night
The pool first, then the market, then the judging. And nothing waits for midnight.
The work happens while nobody is watching. Every night the whole cycle runs once, in a fixed order, and by the time the office opens the result is waiting.
- The existing pool is judged first, so a job that was already collected still gets its chance with every candidate before anything new is fetched.
- Then the market is crawled across boards, employment services and applicant systems, and everything new is collected.
- Duplicates are merged, short ads are completed, and each new job is prepared before it can be judged.
- Every new job is then judged against every active candidate, and the new matches are flagged.
- Later in the night every source link is re-checked, so dead ads are marked before you waste a call on one.
Nothing waits for the night
A candidate confirmed at eleven in the morning does not sit idle until midnight. They are compared against the entire existing pool immediately, which is usually thousands of jobs, so the first shortlist exists within minutes. The nightly run then only has to add what the market produced since.
What about a job posted at ten in the morning?
It is picked up that night, together with everything else published that day. One thing does not wait: confirming a new profile compares that candidate against the pool immediately, because a person who has just walked in should not have to wait for a night to pass. For jobs the night is the rhythm, and deliberately so — an advert found at ten in the morning and one found at four in the afternoon are not different kinds of urgency, and pretending otherwise would mean hammering the same sources all day for nothing.
