Job search guides
Guides to reading a job posting: when it was first posted, whether it is still listed, and what a date can't tell you. Each one works without a tool. The free Job Age Checker does the reading for you.
Guides
- How to tell when a job was actually posted: Four ways to find a job's original posting date by hand, and what none of them can tell you.
- Ghost jobs: what they are and what you can check: What the published estimates say, why companies post jobs they don't fill, and what a posting's dates can and can't show.
- How to tell if a job posting is still open: Check the company's own posting, not a board's copy, and read what closed and unknown mean on each hiring system.
