Looking at my most recent "looking for candidates like you" email,
only one of the ten is sponsored, and none of them are for tech
writing jobs or anything close to that.
They all fit my "jobs preferences":
location: San Francisco Bay Area
seniority: Senior / Manager / Director
company: size any
industry: High Tech

Only the non-writer job -- in several instances -- is "Sponsored."
