"answer_md": "Job-Genie flags high-travel roles as a hidden shortlist filter. When a job requires 75% travel, specialist recruiters screen for candidates whose CVs and briefs explicitly signal travel readiness — past geographies, client-facing mobility, and logistics self-sufficiency. Candidates who omit this evidence face immediate Application Silence.\n\n## Why 75% Travel Is a Recruiter Shortlist Signal\n\nRoles demanding 75% travel are rarely filled through public job boards. They sit firmly in the hidden job market, where specialist recruiters pre-qualify candidates before a role is ever advertised. A recruiter shortlisting for this type of position is looking for proof — not willingness stated in a cover letter, but demonstrated history embedded in the CV itself.\n\nIf a candidate's CV shows regional or national account management, multi-site project delivery, or international client engagement without explicitly naming the travel involved, the Recruiter-Fit Gap widens immediately. The recruiter cannot infer what the CV does not state.\n\n## What the Recruiter-Fit Matrix Measures Here\n\nJob-Genie's Recruiter-Fit Matrix assesses how a candidate's current presentation maps against what a specialist recruiter needs to confidently shortlist them. For high-travel roles, the matrix checks for:\n\n- Geographic scope — regions, countries, or territories explicitly named\n- Mobility signals — language such as "field-based," "client-site delivery," or "multi-region coverage"\n- Logistics competence — independent scheduling, remote reporting, and client relationship ownership at distance\n\nAbsence of these signals raises the Application Silence Score, reducing the probability the CV surfaces in a shortlist conversation at all.\n\n## How Job-Genie's Truth Layer Addresses This\n\nJob-Genie's Truth Layer rewrites the candidate's CV to surface travel-relevant evidence already present in their experience but buried or unstated. It does not fabricate; it restructures and makes explicit what recruiters need to see.\n\nAlongside the rewritten CV, Job-Genie produces a Recruiter-Ready Brief — a 3–5 sentence summary in recruiter language that directly states travel history and mobility availability, closing the Recruiter-Fit Gap before the first conversation begins.\n\nFor 75% travel roles, this distinction between a candidate who mentions travel willingness and one whose profile *proves* travel competency is often the entire shortlist decision."
