I built a job board that scores how 'real' each listing is (A–F)

Short summary

A developer built Remoty.work, a job board that grades listings A–F on ghost-job risk using signals like repost count, listing age, salary disclosure, description quality, and company sentiment scraped from forums. DeepSeek handles classification of messy job descriptions at low cost, while a human-in-the-loop applies to flagged jobs to verify accuracy. The biggest insight: some listings are lead-gen ads disguised as jobs, not real openings.

  • Remoty.work scores job listings A–F on ghost-job likelihood using repost count, age, salary, description quality, and sentiment signals
  • DeepSeek used for cost-effective text classification; human-in-the-loop verification corrects misclassifications
  • Some vetted-talent platforms post fake listings that are actually lead-gen ads, labeled 'Ad — Not Hiring'

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
