WHAT WE CHECK

7 signals. Zero guesswork.

Posting Age

Jobs open for 30+ days are a red flag. We check how long the listing has been live.

Company Status

Recent layoffs or hiring freezes? We cross-reference company news and layoff data.

Repost History

Jobs reposted 3+ times often signal a ghost listing. We track repost frequency.

Salary Transparency

Real jobs are more likely to list compensation. No salary? That's a warning sign.

Careers Page Match

We verify the job exists on the company's official careers page, not just job boards.

Urgency Signals

'Urgently hiring' but posted 3 weeks ago? We catch these contradictions.

Description Quality

Vague, copy-pasted, or overly generic descriptions are common ghost job traits.
