Got laid off. Got sick of ghost jobs. Built something
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.

In plain words
This web app helps job seekers identify ghost jobs—listings that never lead to actual positions—by tracking company hiring behavior across job boards. Users can see which job boards companies post on, their ATS systems, median salaries by role, posting frequency, listing age, and skill requirements. Currently covering Fortune 100 companies with plans to expand to over 2,500 companies, the free tool aims to reveal whether companies are genuinely hiring or simply maintaining inactive listings. The interface is basic but functional for job hunters wanting transparency into company recruitment patterns.

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 postings major job boards Right now it’s showing Fortune 100 daily. Adding 2,500+ companies next week. Long-term goal? provide access to our database that actually track over 1 millions companies, I'd rather wait before provide access to all these data du to high cost of maintenance and resource required. It also enable anonymous report from any jobs seekers toward any companies. Their is also a dedicated public page per company providing space to speak and have discussions. If this helps someone out there avoid wasted time, it was worth building. Here it is: app.ghostjobs.io Happy to answer questions or hear thoughts, you feedback help!
