#72No. Ghost jobs are "verified", too.

#73Otta in the UK (now eaten by the inexplicably-named Welcome to the Jungle) used to have a very involved vetting process during company onboarding, and I could verify that it was a great service as both a candidate and a hiring manager. To replicate what you want ("every listing is verified") there's no silver bullet but a good vetting process like that goes a long way. Another site I like is cord.com, which seems to…

#74Earlier quoted context omitted.
Put some money on the line. I'm not an economist but you could structure a market where you cannot just take up mental space in the job market for practically nil. That's the current malincentive, that companies put up job listings they have no intention of filling, even when candidates who are qualified by their own criteria apply. The current job market maladies are a perverse incentive of the price of posting a jo…
Interesting proposal, but I think it would take a good size of money. Maybe 50% escrow of first year salary?
Yeah something like that. A breakup fee between the job board company and the hiring company: “if you don’t hire someone within 90 days we keep half of the salary.” But there’s not much incentive for the hiring side to do this!

#76Ask yourself why this isn't the way already. Obviously everyone would rather only see and apply to verified listings, so why don't job boards work like that? Maybe job advertisers don't want to verify, maybe it's too much hassle, maybe it costs so much to verify that you need to charge too much for listings, maybe verified listings don't scale. It's all fine to ask what-ifs like this, but since this is obviously the…
I think a big reason is that, just like dating apps, they don’t want you to get a job. They want you to stay on the site and load ads/pay a subscription.

#77the job-to-be-done is connecting the job to the right person. Not job verification. I built a mobile app dev team in fintech years ago. I remember one person was literally selling their house and moving and was looking for a job. Call it luck, serendipitous, what you will, but the "connection" was made at the right time, right place. How do we solve that problem more effectively? Cuz right now it's a roll of the dice…

#78How do you verify? A legit company CAN post ghost jobs.

#79I'll do you one better. This would be the ONLY job board I use.
Re: undefined
#80The answer is yes, and I speak for everybody. People use job boards anyway, why not use another one with the +1 that, at least, you won't get scammed. Everyone likes to pretend this and that, "I wouldn't do it", "what problem do you solve", etc. I've published many jobs and they all come like hyenas fighting over scraps. Don't listen to them, just build the thing; they'll use it, they need the bread, lmao.
