Two false positives (Account Payable Specialist, Dental Assistant) were
classified ACTIVE because ortho signal was matched against whole-page
boilerplate — dental employers mention 'orthodontics' in every posting.
- roles.py: title-based role gate (target/support/non_clinical/unknown)
with defaults + config terms; support/admin candidates are dropped at
board fetch and SERP discovery before verification
- verifier: ortho signal now checks title + job-description container only
(greenhouse/workday/icims/lever/smartrecruiters selectors); unknown
titles need a dentist credential (DDS/DMD/license) to become ACTIVE
- Orthodontic Clinician is treated as support — verified against Smile
Doctors postings ('under close supervision of an Orthodontist')
- non-target candidates are logged to workspace/candidates/*.roles.jsonl
(30-day retention) as offline audit input
- role_audit.py + 'proactive role-audit': gemma4 reviews borderline titles
offline and proposes terms; --write appends to sites/role_terms.auto.yaml
(runtime stays non-AI per CLAUDE.md)
Board results were appended after every SERP result, so with the fixed
verify budget (60 pages) they were never verified — the summary showed
'thousands of board matches, zero new leads'. Verification now
interleaves board and SERP candidates, boards first, so hidden ATS jobs
(e.g. Smile Doctors, Sonora, Specialty Dental Brands) actually get
classified and persisted.
Also strip employer names before board keyword matching — 'Account
Payable Specialist at Specialty Dental Brands' no longer matches on the
company name ('Dental').
Phase 1 — query matrix:
- every state now also gets a hidden-title query on a rotation window (doc §4)
- national pool gains recruitment-phrasing variants
- budget 80->100 queries/day, verify cap 40->60
- state_for_query picks longest state name (fixes DC/West Virginia shadowing)
Phase 2 — hidden jobs via ATS boards:
- new boards.py: Greenhouse/Lever/SmartRecruiters/Workday/ICIMS/USAJOBS adapters
over public feeds/APIs; keyword filter -> SearchResult; graceful skip on failure
- new sites/employers.yaml: employer catalog (verified endpoints only)
- engine._discover now crawls boards, feeding candidates into verify->ledger
- USAJOBS uses USAJOBS_API_KEY/EMAIL from .env (skips until key approved)
- cli summary shows ATS board matches
