The job market has a transparency problem.
Hire or Ghost is a Chrome extension that lets the LinkedIn community flag ghost jobs — listings posted with no intention to hire. If HR won't give you honesty, the people will.
Used by job seekers who are tired of silence.
You've spent hours tailoring your resume. You've written cover letters with actual thought in them. You've waited weeks. And what did you get? Silence. Not even a rejection — just nothing.
That's because many of those listings were never real. Companies post jobs to look like they're growing. To harvest resumes. To satisfy internal policies. And you pay the price with your time, energy, and hope.
We think that's unacceptable. So we built something about it.
Go about your job search as usual. The extension runs silently in the background on every job page.
If a job has been flagged by the community, you'll see a clear banner right under the job title. No guessing.
Applied and got ghosted? Click "Mark as Ghost Job." Your report joins the community's data and warns the next person.
Think a flag is wrong? Click "Not a Ghost" and tell us why. We review every dispute. Transparency goes both ways.
See community flags on every LinkedIn job listing before you waste a single minute applying.
Real job seekers flagging real problems. No algorithms — just people helping people.
Every flag can be disputed. We don't blacklist companies — we surface data and let you decide.
We don't read your messages. We don't scrape your profile. We don't sell data. Period.
Track how many ghost jobs you've identified. See your contribution to a cleaner job market.
Ghost jobs aren't a local problem. The extension works on any LinkedIn job listing, anywhere in the world.
"We believe every job seeker deserves to know if a listing is real before investing their time. If companies won't provide that transparency, the community will. This isn't about attacking employers — it's about demanding basic respect for people's time and effort."
Ghost jobs waste an estimated 250 million hours of job seekers' time every year. That ends now.

Absolutely. Sharing your experience about a job listing is free speech. We don't access any private data — everything happens on publicly visible job pages.
No. But they can dispute them. We review disputes fairly and remove flags if evidence shows the listing was legitimate.
A job posted with no real intent to hire. Listings that stay open for months, roles already filled internally, positions created just to collect resumes — if you experienced it, flag it.
Other users never see who flagged a job. Your LinkedIn profile is stored securely and only used if we need to verify a dispute.
Right now, we don't. This is a community tool. A premium version with advanced analytics is coming soon — but the core flagging will always be free.
