GhostJob - Ghost Job Detector

About

Track your job applications + stop wasting time on fake job postings.

GhostJob scans LinkedIn job listings for ghost job signals — positions that were never meant to be filled. With one click, get a Trust Score (0-100) that tells you if a posting is legitimate or likely a ghost job.

How it works:

1. Install GhostJob — a "Scan for Ghost Jobs" button appears next to every LinkedIn posting
2. Click the button — instantly analyzes 10+ legitimacy signals
3. See your Trust Score with detailed signal breakdowns and actual quotes from the posting

What we detect:

• Reposted jobs — 30-40% of reposted roles never result in a hire
• Urgency language — "immediate start", "urgent hiring" pressure tactics
• Unrealistic experience requirements
• Vague "competitive salary" with no range
• Generic, could-apply-anywhere descriptions
• High experience required for entry-level roles

🟡 Yellow Flags
• No salary range listed
• No team or hiring manager mentioned
• Vague or missing location
• AI-generated language patterns
• Culture buzzwords paired with red flags
• Stale listings (30+ days old)

🟢 Green Flags
