Spot likely ghost jobs on LinkedIn before you waste an application. Some job listings are not really hiring. They sit open for months, get reposted again and again, and collect hundreds of applications that go nowhere. Ghost Check flags them before you waste an application. Open any job on LinkedIn and Ghost Check scores it right on the page: Looks fresh: no red flags Getting stale: a few warning signs Likely ghost job: apply with caution Hover the badge to see exactly why. The score is built from signals visible on the listing itself: Reposted listings, the strongest ghost tell Listings that have been open for more than a month High applicant counts on old posts Missing salary ranges Always-open wording like "talent pipeline" and "future openings" No account. No setup. No data collection. Everything runs inside your browser. Ghost Check makes zero network requests, sends nothing anywhere, and stores nothing about what you browse. There is no tracking to opt out of because there is none to begin with. Ghost Check is built by Hotfix, the job board with no ghost jobs. Every listing on hotfix.jobs is vetted before it goes live. If you are tired of applying into the void, that is why we built both. Note: scores are estimates based on public signals, not a verdict on any employer. A flagged listing can still be real, and a fresh one can still go nowhere. Ghost Check just puts the warning signs where you can see them.
