Thank you Grammar Greek. I find mostly the words "featured jobs" in UK recruitment companies. Now I guess they mean by that, "The jobs which mostly candidates like to apply for"? Am I correct? Similarly, I think "featured articles" means the articles which many people like to read. Am I correct?
Just another thought about this: Certainly the phrase "featured articles" might simply designate the articles that many people like to read. But there is often a business aspect to anything that appears as "featured" on a website. Very often, a business owner has paid the website owner to display the business listing (or whatever) in a prominent manner, in order to get more attention or recruits
