The problem
The ghost job epidemic.
Over 30% 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.2 That means over 30 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 solution
Know before you invest.
We are building an intelligent ecosystem in four phases: validate any posting for ghost-job risk, research the company and role in parallel, connect with the right people by name, and prepare tailored application materials — from URL paste to interview-ready in under an hour. The validate phase is available now and the others will be rolling out over the coming months.

Job Search Assistant Aptara Success 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 on real opportunituies. The result: cutting through the noise to find genuine openings."

The result: interviews for roles that were actually available to external candidates."
