A job posting has more than one job

Consider a job posting from a company. On a job board it is an opportunity to apply. To a business-development team it may be a sign that a company is growing. To someone using audio or accessibility tools, it could become a short narrated update. Each use is reasonable. The trouble begins when each application creates its own company, source and version of the posting.

The feed-to-application work in Aurekai came out of exactly that problem. Our example was a Lithic job listing: how do we make it useful in CRM and media workflows without inventing special handling for Lithic or copying the whole feed into every app?

The source has its own identity, original publisher and time. Bonfÿre can retain that source and its relationship to the company. A feed can display it, while installed account applications declare what sort of incoming material they understand.

A CRM might accept an opportunity derived from a job listing. A narration app might accept the text and a source link. A recruitment workflow may need to preserve the application destination. Those are different continuations from one item.

The CRM should decide what an opportunity means, how it relates to existing contacts and whether a person needs to review it. The media application owns its editing and publication steps. Source Library owns the original material. The feed supplies a route between them.

This is why simply adding a button to a feed wasn't enough. We needed typed intake declarations on both sides, account-owned installations and a way to match information to the capabilities actually available.

The architectural direction is described in the Bonfÿre technical guide, while Aurekai Work^{[1]Aurekai Work} is where the business-facing continuations belong.

It is a small example with a large reach. A product listing, a council document, a supplier notice or a research paper can all have more than one useful destination. The key is to move the relationship and the relevant information, not make every application start its own disconnected world.
