About Alfred – Ghost Job Detector

Never miss out on a real opportunity or waste time on a fake one. Job hunting shouldn't mean guessing which postings are real. Alfred automatically scores every LinkedIn job you view for ghost job patterns, scam signals, and red flags. So you can focus your applications where they actually count. WHAT ALFRED DETECTS - Ghost jobs: Positions reposted multiple times, sitting open for months with 100+ applicants. A strong sign the company isn't actively hiring. - Scam signals: Listings that ask for money, bank details, or move the conversation to WhatsApp or Telegram. - Red flags: Vague job descriptions, excessive urgency language, missing salary information, or no linked company page. HOW IT WORKS Alfred runs 16 independent checks against LinkedIn's own structured data, not fragile CSS scraping. So it keeps working accurately even when LinkedIn redesigns its interface. No setup, no configuration: install it, and Alfred quietly scores every posting you open. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT - Get a risk score the moment you open a listing - Spot scams before you share personal information - Stop wasting applications on jobs that don't exist - Backed by community voting to keep detection sharp Install Alfred and take the guesswork out of your job search.
