Link suggestions table
Ordered by target, then by source page inlink count, highest first. Pages with more internal inlinks pass more internal authority; that is the ordering reason, not a measured effect.

Skipped sources
| Source | Target considered | Why skipped |
|---|---|---|
| hr-software-buyers-guide | Onboarding checklist | Off topic by the rule: its topic "hr software" shares no topic word with "onboarding checklist", and the copy says "onboarding features", not the target phrase. |
| first-week-new-hire, remote-onboarding-tips | PTO tracking | No PTO phrase in the supplied text and no shared topic word. |
| holiday-leave-policy | Onboarding checklist | No onboarding phrase in the supplied text and no shared topic word. |
| The two target pages | Each other | No body text was supplied for them, so no anchors could be matched. |
