Good Morning,

“Ghost jobs” have been a popular topic in recent months — the term refers to job listings for roles a company has no real intention of filling. For job seekers, they can mean hours spent tailoring applications for opportunities that never existed.

They’re also difficult to identify. Some companies genuinely recruit year-round for sales positions or specialized skills, so recurring listings deserve a closer look.

We track hundreds of thousands of remote job listings every year, and we’ve used this knowledge to build an internal system to flag suspicious patterns, including companies repeatedly removing and reposting the same roles.

Each flag prompts a manual review by our team. We’ll monitor cases that remain unclear and remove listings when the evidence gives us strong reason to doubt they truly represent active hiring.

Other job boards make more money from more job postings, so they have no incentive to track ghost jobs, even if it creates a worse experience for job seekers.

But we’re not other job boards.

Tracking ghost jobs is just one more reason Remote Source is the best place to find truly remote jobs.
