GhostPost: job listing reality check

Tells job seekers whether a posting is real before they spend hours tailoring for it

Problem
Applicants pour hours into tailored resumes for listings that may be long-abandoned. One student scripted an analysis of 200 entry-level postings and found roughly a quarter were likely ghost jobs, but ordinary applicants have no such tooling.
Solution
Paste a job link or bulk-import listings to get a credibility score with reasons based on posting age, repost frequency, hiring history and template similarity. Includes a ranked application queue.
Users
New grads, career switchers and high-volume applicants.
MVP
Link parsing to extract job data; rule-plus-small-model credibility score; bulk import and ranking; explanations of suspicious signals; exportable application list
Revenue
Free tier plus subscription for bulk analysis, or affiliate deals with resume tools
Why now
AI has exploded application volume and listing spam along with it, making real-versus-fake judgment an acute need
