We checked 76,255 verified jobs. About half sit open for 60+ days.
Every posting here comes straight from a company’s own applicant tracking system, not a scraped board. We do not claim a posting is a ghost job from age alone, but a listing that stays open for months is the most common signal of one. Here is what the verified market actually looks like, as of August 4, 2026.

How to read this
These are signals, not verdicts. Age is one input; a real ghost-risk read also weighs reposting, whether a role names a concrete team and outcomes, its recency on the official ATS, and scam-channel signals. You get that full, reasoned verdict per posting inside OyaPilot.
Age stats use only postings with a disclosed post date (58,632 of 76,255); some ATS connectors do not return one. We do not report salary disclosure here, because most ATS APIs do not expose pay even when the employer lists it.
