## Description

Ghost Job Detector — Scan Any Job Listing for Ghost Job Signals

Are you applying to ghost jobs? Studies show up to a third of job postings online are fake — posted to collect resumes, inflate hiring metrics, or satisfy compliance. Ghost jobs waste your time and drain your motivation.

Subspace Ghost Job Scanner is a free browser extension that detects ghost jobs and fake job postings before you apply. One click to check if a job is real.

How does the ghost job detector work?

When you browse a job listing on any job board or company career page, a floating badge appears. Click "Ghost check this job" to scan the listing instantly. You'll get a ghost probability score — a clear percentage that tells you how likely the job posting is legitimate or fake.

What signals does the ghost job scanner check?

The scanner analyzes multiple quality signals per listing:

• Posting age — is this job suspiciously old?
  • Salary transparency — do they disclose a pay range?
  • Repost detection — has this job been relisted multiple times?
  • Description quality — is the job description vague or detailed?
  • Role specificity — are the responsibilities clearly defined?
  • Company hiring patterns — is this company actually growing?
  • Compensation signals — are the salary claims realistic?

Which job boards does this ghost job checker support?

Works on every major job board and applicant tracking system:

• LinkedIn Jobs — detect ghost jobs on LinkedIn
  • Indeed — scan Indeed job listings
  • Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby — startup and tech job boards
