What it actually checks

Check Any Listing

Paste a job you found anywhere — not just on CareerPilot — and get an instant risk score.

Posting Freshness

See how recently a role was actually posted, and how it compares to how long employers usually leave live listings up.

Repost Pattern Detection

Spot roles an employer has posted repeatedly without hiring — a common sign of a listing that isn't genuinely active.

Explainable Risk Score

No black box — see exactly which signals contributed to the score, not just a number.

How it works

01

Paste the Listing

Copy the job title, company, and description — or the URL, if you have it.

02

We Check the Signals

Posting age, repost history, and other common warning signs of a fake or dead listing.

03

Get Your Risk Score

An instant, explainable score — with the reasoning behind it, not just a verdict.

Check before you apply. It takes seconds.
