FAQ

What is a ghost job?
A ghost job is a job listing that isn't actually hiring. Companies post them to collect resumes, appear like they're growing, or simply forget to take them down. Studies estimate 40-60% of job listings online may be ghost jobs.
How accurate is GhostCheck?
GhostCheck uses 6 heuristic signals to estimate ghost probability. It provides a likelihood score, not a guarantee. Think of it as a helpful filter that saves you time by flagging suspicious listings so you can focus on real opportunities.
Does GhostCheck collect my data?
No. GhostCheck processes everything locally in your browser. Zero data is sent to any server. Your job search activity stays completely private.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free gives you 10 scans per day with ghost badges. Pro unlocks unlimited scans, advanced filter modes (dim, collapse, or completely hide ghost jobs), and full scan history with CSV export.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time $4.99 payment. Pay once, use forever. No recurring charges.
