24 alternatives to LinkedIn Job Scam Detector – Catch fake recruiters and job scams

Taken from David Dodda's blog post yesterday: "Verify everything. Real LinkedIn profile doesn't mean real person. Real company doesn't mean real opportunity." His story (How I almost got hacked by a job interview - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45591707) shows how easy it is to fall for professional-looking LinkedIn scams. We built a tool that checks the job posting, the recruiter profile and the company's company pages for red flags. all in one straightforward report. try it here: https://scamai.com/detect/jobs sample report:…

    I built Real Job Check after seeing how many people, including myself, have fallen for a convincing fake job posting. "Recruiters" on WhatsApp, "task" jobs that ask you to deposit money to get paid, offers that want your bank details before there has been an interview. While there are a couple existing solutions out there, none of them actually show their work. Feedback welcome!

    I have some friends who were laid off and are on the job hunt. We were all quite surprised to learn that LinkedIn does not have a "view jobs only at companies where I have connections", so I built https://jobsbyreferral.com/ It's powered by https://rapidapi.com/letscrape-6bRBa3QguO5/api/jsearch, which is a little pricey, so I'm trying to decide whether to put more effort into the project (I'd have to charge _something_ to offset the costs).

    My friend and I got tired of job hunting (347 applications, 4 responses) so we built AI agents to help job seekers instead of replacing them. The problem: 73% of applications never reach humans, 250+ people apply to each job, but 85% of positions are filled through networking. Our solution: AI agents that find hiring managers for any LinkedIn job, analyze your profile fit, and generate personalized outreach messages. Instead of competing with hundreds in the application pile, you reach decision-makers directly. Technical bits: LangChain + OpenAI for job parsing, Next.js + Supabase, custom…

    Hello everyone, I got laid off last year and during the job hunt, I kept running into ghost jobs, these listings that never lead anywhere. Super frustrating. After some point, I started tracking company behavior across job boards. It snowballed into a little web app where you can actually see how companies are hiring — or pretending to. It's free, early stage, UI is a bit rough, but here’s what some info it shows per company: -Job boards they post on -ATS system they use -Median salary by role -Post frequency + how old the listings are -Skills and degree requirements -Track all existing…
