HireRadar – AI Job Scam & Ghost Job Detector

About

🛰️ HireRadar — Stop wasting time on fake jobs and dangerous links.

27% of job seekers got scammed in 2025. Another 1 in 3 job postings are "ghost jobs" — listings where companies have ZERO intent to hire. And recruitment phishing links cost victims billions. Together these costs real people millions of dollars and thousands of wasted hours.

HireRadar is your AI-powered protection. One click reveals what's really behind that job posting or recruiter message.


🚨 TRIPLE DETECTION — WHAT MAKES HIRERADAR DIFFERENT

Most extensions only catch obvious scams. HireRadar catches THREE risks at once:

✅ SCAM SIGNALS — Upfront fees, SSN requests, unrealistic salaries, crypto schemes, reshipping fraud, identity-theft patterns

✅ GHOST JOB SIGNALS — Postings with no real hiring intent: generic "rockstar" templates, evergreen "always hiring" listings, impossible requirements, no salary disclosed, postings live for months without filling

✅ LINK SAFETY — Any URLs in the posting or message get checked against Google Safe Browsing, URLScan.io (Pro), and VirusTotal (Pro) — instantly flagging phishing or malware links

No other extension does all three. That's why HireRadar exists.

⚠️ HONEST DISCLAIMER

HireRadar provides AI-generated risk assessments, not legal verdicts. AI can be wrong in both directions — it may flag legitimate postings as risky, or miss subtle/novel scam patterns. Always use your own judgment and verify employers independently before sharing personal information or accepting offers.

HireRadar is an independent product. Not affiliated with LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Facebook (Meta), WhatsApp (Meta), Telegram, Anthropic, Google, URLScan.io, or VirusTotal.
