The problem
The ghost job epidemic.
Between 27% and 43% of job postings are ghost jobs — positions that don't exist, have already been filled internally, will never be filled, or are outright scams.
The average job seeker applies to over 100 positions before landing an offer. That means 27 to 43 of those applications were doomed before they were sent.
Current tools help you apply to more jobs. They don't help you find the ones that are real.

The results
Job Search Assistant Use Cases.
Recent graduate
"A recent graduate sending dozens of applications into entry-level roles can quickly lose hope when nothing comes back. Aptara flagged ghost listings and scams, validated the real opportunities, and helped focus every submission. The result: cutting through the noise to find genuine openings."
Mid-career professional
"A mid-career professional pursuing leadership-track roles often discovers that many postings are internal promotions in disguise. Aptara validated each listing against live signals, filtered out phantom searches, and surfaced genuinely open positions. The result: interviews for roles that were actually available to external candidates."
Executive in transition
"An executive in transition can quickly become overwhelmed by the research burden for senior roles. Aptara mapped complex conglomerate structures, prepared board-level prep materials, and identified social graph connections. The result: saving hours of tedious research."
