Show HN: Got laid off. Got sick of ghost jobs. Built something

https://app.ghostjobs.io/
20•ghostjobs•9mo ago
Hello everyone,

I got laid off last year and during the job hunt, I kept running into ghost jobs, these listings that never lead anywhere. Super frustrating.

After some point, I started tracking company behavior across job boards. It snowballed into a little web app where you can actually see how companies are hiring — or pretending to.

It's free, early stage, UI is a bit rough, but here’s what some info it shows per company: -Job boards they post on -ATS system they use -Median salary by role -Post frequency + how old the listings are -Skills and degree requirements -Track all existing postings major job boards

Right now it’s showing Fortune 100 daily. Adding 2,500+ companies next week. Long-term goal? provide access to our database that actually track over 1 millions companies, I'd rather wait before provide access to all these data du to high cost of maintenance and resource required.

It also enable anonymous report from any jobs seekers toward any companies. Their is also a dedicated public page per company providing space to speak and have discussions.

If this helps someone out there avoid wasted time, it was worth building.

Here it is: app.ghostjobs.io

Happy to answer questions or hear thoughts, you feedback help!

Does the search bar in your hero work? The one in the top nav works great but I had trouble getting the big search bar to work? Chrome on Mac.

Great job, been following you folks for a while!
ghostjobs•9mo ago
you support is appreciated :)

I ran into the same problem. Built a web app too to fix this that tracked ghost jobs and misbehaving companies. Nobody used it.

People will better use this app, lest they find themselves in the same situation, laid off, with no one to turn to for help.

sneha_tamal•9mo ago
we all have experienced this somehow, how do you handle ensuring the accuracy of the data?
ghostjobs•9mo ago
we are monitoring around a million companies and all their jobs. the process is almost at a daily basis.

This is really interesting, and may be of great use in my own job hunt. Thanks for sharing!
