Compare the result with the original goal, note any unsupported assumptions, and preserve the user’s ability to reject or reverse the recommendation. This keeps Always-On Career Agent: Keep Your Career Search Running focused on decision quality and product fit while the attached research trail remains explicitly pending editorial source verification.
Use history to improve the next recommendation
Use this checkpoint to distinguish capability from convenience. Accepted roles, rejected matches, changed filters, and prior positioning decisions can help refine future suggestions when the system retains them appropriately. For the search intent “always on career agent,” Verify the behavior with look for repeated false positives and update the profile rather than dismissing the same problem indefinitely.. Keep the page anchored to observable inputs such as the resume, job description, source posting, product controls, or documented workflow rather than abstract promises.
