Details change between recruitment cycles, so your invite and the employer's own pages have the final word

Official:
The employer or organisation says it on its own website or in its own documents
Reported:
From surveys, news, candidate reports or prep sites, not the employer's own pages
Unverified:
Sources disagree or the evidence is thin, so treat it as a possibility
