JobScamScore combines multiple verification layers — company registration checks, official careers page cross-referencing, contact domain validation, salary benchmarking, and AI pattern matching against thousands of verified scam cases. No automated tool is 100% accurate, so treat results as a strong signal alongside your own judgment. Our ongoing goal is to exceed 98% detection accuracy across diverse job types and geographies.
Safe (70-100): High confidence the job is legitimate. Green flags include verified company, official careers page, and professional ATS.
Caution (40-69): Some concerns detected. Review the flags carefully before proceeding.
Risky (0-39): Strong indicators of a scam. Red flags include free email domains, missing careers pages, or known scam patterns.

Yes. JobScamScore cross-references the job posting against the company's official careers page and major job boards. If the role cannot be verified as actively listed by the company, it is flagged as a potential ghost job — a listing that exists to harvest applications but has no genuine open position. Ghost jobs account for a significant share of misleading postings, especially on aggregator job boards.
