GhostJobs
Why This is an Opportunity
This taps into genuine rage that's all over Reddit and Twitter right now. The crowdsourced data model means the product gets more valuable with every user, and the 'name and shame' angle makes it inherently viral.
Key Pain Points
- •You spent 2 hours customizing a cover letter for a job that was filled internally 3 months ago
- •The same listing has been reposted every 30 days for a year — it's clearly not real
- •You applied to 50 jobs and got zero responses, not even rejections, just silence
- •There's no way to warn other job seekers about companies that waste applicants' time
Original Discovery
Job seekers are furious about applying to listings that are already filled, were never real, or have been posted for 6 months with no activity. GhostJobs lets users report and rate job listings — flagging suspected ghost postings, tracking how long listings stay up, and crowdsourcing intel on which companies actually respond. Think of it as Glassdoor but specifically for calling out fake job listings.
