Roster-first usefulness

Source-tracked acquisition
Waitlist and employer interest forms preserve source page, city, industry, role, and intent data so growth decisions can be tied to actual demand.
Clear separation of guides and listings
Search pages are labelled as guides while the live marketplace is still launching. We do not present research pages as live job boards.
