Is This Job Real?

Paste a job URL or description. We'll run 6 legitimacy checks and tell you if it's a real opening, suspicious, or a ghost job.

How we check jobs

Description quality

Real jobs have detailed descriptions. Scams use generic text and red-flag phrases.

Salary disclosure

Legitimate employers share at least a range. Vague pay = possible ghost job.

Company verification

We cross-reference the company against our index and 15+ known ATS platforms.

Direct apply URL

Real jobs link directly to the company or a verified ATS — not aggregator redirects.

Verified index match

We check if the job appears in our database of 3,600+ active verified openings.

Posting recency

Listings over 60 days old are often filled or paused. We flag stale postings.

Find jobs you don't have to second-guess.
