Job posts warn you about scams before you apply.

Suspicious listings get flagged. You see what to watch for.

Winding dirt road, trees, and a windmill under a cloudy sky.

You're scrolling through job listings on our site and you spot one that sounds too good to be true. Before you hit apply, the post shows you what to watch for: vague pay, upfront fees, requests for personal info before the interview. We check every job posting automatically and flag the ones with warning signs.

When a listing looks suspicious, you see a warning right on the page. It tells you what doesn't add up and what to do instead. If it's a real scam, our team reviews it before we publish it. The whole thing happens automatically, no account needed.

This isn't perfect. Some sketchy posts slip through, and some honest jobs might trigger a false alarm. But the goal is simple: keep you from wasting time or worse on a bad listing. You can still apply to anything you want. We just give you a heads up first.
