After experiencing the current job market and seeing my friends going through the same thing, I got tired of it and decided to do something. Job boards have no incentive to remove ghost jobs because they pay as much as real ones or there are just too many of them.

So I built Pitchly Hire where every listing expires after 30 days, no exceptions. Employers can request 1 extension of 15 days (only once), before expiry. After that, the listing is archived permanently. I review each one before it goes live. Each listing gets a Posting Integrity Signal (PIS), not a verification stamp, just a plain and simple description of what I was able to check or not. I have 5 transparency reports published, every 2 weeks without missing one.

About 40 listings are live now (all sourced directly from employer's website), mostly humanitarian orgs, research institutions, museums, and open source companies. Applications go directly to the employer. I never collect or see them.

One person, no funding. I would genuinely love honest feedback.
