What's the most blatant ghost job you've ever applied to?

A surprising share of online job postings are "ghosts" — roles that are already filled, endlessly reposted, or that a company never actually intends to hire for. If you've job-searched lately, you've felt it: you tailor a resume, fight an application form for 20 minutes, hit submit… and hear nothing, because there was no one on the other end.

That's the problem we built Klepify around — a GhostScore that rates every posting on its age, repost patterns, and a company's real hiring velocity, so you can tell a live opening from a dead one before you sink an hour into it.

But I'd love to hear how everyone else handles this:

- How do you tell whether a posting is real before applying?

- What's the most blatant ghost job you've run into — the "posted 8 months ago, still open" kind?

- Ever actually hear back from one and get surprised?
