About Is This Job Real?
Tired of applying to jobs that turn out to be ghost listings — postings with no real hiring activity behind them?
Is This Job Real? scores any job listing in seconds and shows you exactly which red flags it found.
How it works:
1. Visit a job posting on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Greenhouse, or Lever
2. Click the floating "Score This Job" button (or right-click highlighted text → "Score this with IsThisJobReal")
3. See a 0–100 Hiring Activity Score with a breakdown of every signal we detected
What we look for:
• Salary transparency
• Description specificity
• "Evergreen" language that suggests the post is just collecting resumes
• Boilerplate density
• Requirements realism
• Listing freshness
• And more
Each result includes a shareable link so you can compare jobs or send them to a friend.
Privacy first:
• User-initiated only — nothing is sent until you explicitly click Score
• No tracking, no third-party analytics
• No accounts; just an email so we can show you your scoring history
• Company names are extracted internally for our own analysis but never displayed publicly
