FAQ
What makes a job posting suspicious?
Six recurring signals: a vague or generic title, no salary band, 'unicorn' requirements (10+ years on a 5-year-old framework), posting age over 45 days, no listed hiring manager or team lead, and boilerplate copy that could describe any company. One signal is noise, three or more is a pattern.
How long do real postings stay active?
Most legitimate postings are filled or closed within 21–30 days. Anything over 45 days is statistically more likely to be a perpetual req, a budget placeholder, or a resume-harvesting listing. Re-posts of the same JD every few weeks are also a yellow flag.
Should I apply if there's no salary range?
Treat it as a question to ask, not a hard skip. If the company is in a jurisdiction with pay-transparency laws and still publishes no band, that is a stronger signal than in regions where it is simply uncommon. Either way, do not invest tailoring effort until you know the band.
