Is This Job Real?

About

Tired of applying to jobs that turn out to be ghost listings — postings with no real hiring activity behind them? 

Is This Job Real? scores any job listing in seconds and shows you exactly which red flags it found.

How it works:
  1. Visit a job posting on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Greenhouse, or Lever
  2. Click the floating "Score This Job" button (or right-click highlighted text → "Score this with IsThisJobReal")
  3. See a 0–100 Hiring Activity Score with a breakdown of every signal we detected

What we look for:
  • Salary transparency
  • Description specificity
  • "Evergreen" language that suggests the post is just collecting resumes
  • Boilerplate density
  • Requirements realism
  • Listing freshness
  • And more

  Each result includes a shareable link so you can compare jobs or send them to a friend.

  Privacy first:
  • User-initiated only — nothing is sent until you explicitly click Score
  • No tracking, no third-party analytics
  • No accounts; just an email so we can show you your scoring history
  • Company names are extracted internally for our own analysis but never displayed publicly
