How Real Job Check started: -Job scams cost Americans $501M in 2024, up from $90M in 2020. That isn't bad luck, that's a crisis -Scams stopped looking like scams and more like a friendly recruiter on LinkedIn, a real-looking domain, reasonable pay, and professional offer letter -Someone close to me almost fell for one. They're sharp, the scam was just that good -I kept getting asked "is this job posting real?" by people who genuinely couldn't tell anymore -Every tool I tried gave a score with no explanation. For something so high-stakes, that felt risky What Real Job Check does: -You paste a job posting, a link, or a recruiter message and get a verdict in about 10 seconds: Likely Legit, Caution, or High Risk -It checks what a careful person would actually check: domain age, whether the recruiter's email matches the real company, whether the same role appears on the company's official careers page -An AI layer reads language patterns on top of those hard checks, but it can't override them. A real job can't get falsely flagged by the model alone -If it looks real: it routes you to the company's own application page so you don't apply through a sketchy link -If it looks like a scam: it hands you a prefilled report kit for the FTC, IC3, and BBB - ready to file in one click Why it's better than what exists: -It shows its work. Every flag links to a fact you can verify yourself, no black-box score asking you to trust it -The AI is clamped by design. Hard signals have to back any verdict; falsely accusing a real employer is its own kind of harm -It doesn't just warn you, it tells you what to do next. Apply here, or report it there -It checks the careers board directly. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and not just whether a company website exists -It's free with no signup, so there's no reason not to check before you apply or hand over any personal details Who it is for: -Anyone who just got a recruiter message that feels slightly off and wants a second opinion before responding -New grads and first-time job seekers who haven't built up instincts for what a real offer looks like -Remote job seekers, who are targeted at a much higher rate because the whole process happens online anyway -Literally anyone actively job hunting right now If you know someone in a job search, this is worth sending them before they apply to their next job posting.
