  "statement": "A brand whose business is a third-party job board or staffing aggregator must not be registered for A2P messaging.",
  "rationale": "Job messaging is permitted from the employer that is actually hiring and refused from intermediaries, because recruitment texts from a company the recipient never applied to are the classic shape of an employment scam. Genuine job boards are caught by a rule aimed at the fraudulent ones, and the distinction the carriers draw is first-party hiring rather than legitimacy.",
