What is a ghost job?
A posting with no real intent to hire. Companies leave them up to collect resumes, signal growth, or out of plain neglect, while nobody reviews applicants. We look for the patterns those postings share so you can skip them.
What we check
- Vague, templated responsibilities
- Evergreen wording like "always hiring"
- Missing company details, requirements, or pay
- Requests for personal info or off-platform contact
- How long it's been open and how often it's reposted
Common questions
What is a ghost job?
A posting with no real intent to hire. Companies leave them up to collect resumes, signal growth, or out of neglect, while nobody reviews applicants.
How does it work?
Paste a job link or description. We check it for ghost-job and scam patterns. For links on a company career page, we add posting age and repost history from our index of 100k+ live jobs.
Is it free?
Yes, a few checks a day with no account. Create a free account to search and track real openings.
Why couldn't you read my link?
Some sites block automated reads or render with JavaScript. Paste the description text and you'll get a full check.
Does a clean result mean it's real?
No. We surface signals, not certainty. Always confirm a role is active before applying or sharing personal information.
