How we work
MyPRjobs brings together jobs in Puerto Rico from several sources. This page explains where each one comes from, what we review by hand, what we never publish, and how to tell us something is wrong.
Where each job comes from
Every listing names its source on the page itself, and the apply button goes to the original posting; never to a form of ours acting as a middleman.
- Federal: USAJOBS, the official U.S. government portal.
- Government of Puerto Rico: empleos.pr.gov and the Department of Education recruitment portal.
- Local employers: businesses that post directly with us. These go through manual review before they appear.
- Private sector: authorized aggregators (Careerjet, Jooble, Adzuna). These deliver a truncated excerpt rather than the full posting; when that happens we say so on the page and link to the source.
What we review by hand
Employer-submitted jobs do not go live on their own. Before approving one we confirm the business exists using independent sources, check the listing against known scam signals, and make sure the pay is plausible. If something does not add up, the listing does not run.
We fix spelling and grammar when needed. We never change the town, category, pay, shift or company name: that is what the employer wrote, and it stays that way.
What we never publish
- Made-up data. No estimated salary, no approximate count, no sample listing. When we do not have a figure, the page says so or stays quiet; it never fills the gap.
- Jobs outside Puerto Rico. Aggregators mix in mainland U.S. positions; a filter rejects them before they get in.
- Fees. Posting a job and applying to one are free, for everyone.
Figures and salaries we compute
On town and job pages you will see figures of ours: how many positions are active, what pay is advertised, which employers are hiring. All of it is computed on the spot from the jobs active on the site.
Two rules we always keep: we do not convert an hourly wage into an annual one (that would assume a work schedule the listing never promised), and we never show a median without saying how many listings it came from. These reflect what published listings say, not official Puerto Rico wage statistics.
Jobs that have closed
When a position closes, its page stays reachable but marked as closed, and leaves search engines. We do not delete it: it serves as a record and keeps a link shared on Facebook from landing on an error page.
If you see something wrong, tell us
Every listing has a button to report it. If you find a position that no longer exists, a wrong detail or something that looks like a scam, let us know and we will look into it. You can also write to us from the contact page.
Independence
MyPRjobs is an independent project. We are not affiliated with USAJOBS, the U.S. Government or the Government of Puerto Rico, and no employer pays to rank higher in results.
