Know before you spend the evening.
43% of candidates say they struggle just to tell whether a job or the employer behind it is even legitimate1 — and once burned, people stop trusting good listings too. 38% now mass-apply to roles rather than tailor an application to any one of them2. FightGhostJobs breaks that cycle: search any company, see exactly what they've disclosed, and decide for yourself.
Every listing discloses the same five things — plainly, without a score.
A real application takes 31 minutes. Spent on a listing that was never real, that's 31 minutes gone for nothing.
The average job seeker spends roughly 51 hours on applications alone over a search4 — and 47% have applied to a job that turned out not to exist at all5. FightGhostJobs isn't built to help you fire off more applications faster. It's built so the ones you do send go somewhere real, to an employer who's shown their work — which is the opposite of spray-and-pray, and we think that's worth favoring.
Not just a checkmark. Hover it, and it tells you exactly what it means.
Every result on the registry carries this seal. Hover or tab to it — on the live site and right here — and it spells out, in plain language, what FightGhostJobs actually checked before showing it to you.
- Supplied directly by the employer who owns this posting, not scraped or reposted by a third party
- Checked against the registry to catch duplicate or copy-pasted reposts
- If destination links are shown, they are the exact addresses this employer named as legitimate ways to apply
Sometimes the honest answer is "no link yet." That's still worth knowing.
This is the actual detail view a candidate sees on the live registry. Here, the employer confirmed the posting but hasn't added a destination link yet — FightGhostJobs says so plainly instead of guessing or hiding the gap. When an employer has added protected links, verified candidates get a one-time, tokenized link straight to the real application — never a shared or public URL that could be scraped or spoofed.
95% of job seekers have hit a suspicious listing or offer3. Check here first.
If a link, a recruiter DM, or a "final round" text feels off, search the company on FightGhostJobs before you hand over anything. If it's not in the registry, that's information too. Search opens to everyone at launch — nothing to sign up for now.
