Risk flags, not false certainty
Ghost Job Detector
Direct answer
RoleWorth flags ghost-risk signals such as stale pages, repost patterns, weak role detail, suspicious source paths, unsupported application flows, and low evidence match. It does not claim to know every employer's internal intent.

Drive innovation across multiple cutting-edge projects. Must be a team player with strong communication.
Risk flags above threshold. Recommend skip unless referral path exists.
Decision table
When this is the right tool — and when it isn't.
Choose RoleWorth if
- You want risk signals before tailoring.
- You want low-signal postings pushed into Maybe or Skip.
- You want the report to explain what triggered the risk.
Choose another tool if
- You only want job-board alerts without detailed role analysis.
Choose neither if
- You expect guaranteed proof that a posting is fake.
Product proof
See the product surface behind the claim.
Each page carries the matching RoleWorth surface in a glass-framed proof card: the radar, extension overlay, ATS matrix, review queue, dashboard, or package flow behind the promise.
Risk flags are shown as evidence signals, not fake certainty, so weak postings stop before tailoring begins.
Batch scan, ghost-risk skipped count, high-worth jobs, and Apply/Maybe/Skip routing in one product surface.
Hidden cost
Your time is leaking into jobs that were never real.
The wrong jobs don't just waste applications. They drain interview prep, recruiter outreach, and momentum.
| RoleWorth focus | Real-job signals, worth score, proof package, review queue, approved submit on Greenhouse · Lever · Ashby. |
|---|---|
| Typical tool focus | Resume formatting, keyword match, tracker rows, generic autofill, or raw volume. |
| Public guardrail | Risk flags are evidence signals, not guarantees. Unsupported submit flows stop at manual review. |
