A real company doesn’t always mean a real opening.
Some listings stay up for months, get reposted every few weeks and never lead to a hire. UnitPulse checks whether the role is actually open where the company hires, so you can put your effort into jobs that exist.

An illustrative example of what UnitPulse shows.
Inside ghost job detection
Each item is a group of checks that feed the score, with the evidence attached.
Employer’s own careers board
Looks for the same role on the company’s hiring system, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and SmartRecruiters.
Repost history
Flags listings the job board marks as reposted, a common sign of a role that never gets filled.
A real person behind it
Checks whether a named poster is visible and whether their role can actually hire.
Copies elsewhere
Finds other places the same job text appears and whether they tell a consistent story.
Hiring activity
Counts open roles on the company’s board and other postings to see if the company is hiring at all right now.
Freelance ghost clients
On Upwork, flags clients who post job after job but rarely hire anyone.
Three steps, start to finish.
Open the listing
Browse LinkedIn, Indeed or Upwork as usual. The badge appears on the page.
Run the full check
UnitPulse finds the company’s hiring system and looks for the role, then checks reposts, the poster and copies.
Apply where it’s live
If the role is on the company’s own board, the report points you there as the best route to apply.
