Our notesLight lane: written from the triage title, author and description only; nothing fetched, no source text saved, no quotations. A person should read the source before this is published. The description does not name the employers' body, give figures, or say what misconduct covers. The BBC item 3ba64607633c (bbc-2026-10-14-jobseekers-employers-use-ai) appeared three minutes later and may rest on the same research, but neither description says so, so the story link is our inference. The date follows the URL (14 October, UK time); the feed time is 23:01 UTC on 13 October.
