JobShifu

Find jobs straight from employer career sites.

Browse jobs without an account. See when JobShifu first found a posting, check its history, and follow the application link to the employer.

Search jobs

Free to browse. No employer pays to be listed. Have a posting in hand? Check whether it is still open. Or go straight to the open job index.

Discover, as the app shows it. Every card carries the day JobShifu first saw the posting, and a posting the sweep can no longer find on the employer's page comes off the list.

Live from the index. The last figure is measured over the past 7 days, and the slow tail is the claim on purpose: the median alone would flatter it.

JobShifu is a job search tool that sources listings directly from employer career sites. Browse without signing up. Create an account to save jobs, use additional filters and compare requirements with your confirmed experience. You can then tailor a resume and track the application in the same tool.

Sound familiar?

The date on a job board is not the date the job was posted. Three ways that costs you an evening, and what the index does about each one.

I spent the evening on the application. The role had been filled for weeks.

Every board is re-swept. When the crawl can no longer find a posting on the employer's own page, it comes out of the index.

It says posted two days ago. It has said that every two weeks since spring.

The card keeps its own history. The date JobShifu first saw the posting, and how many times the same requisition has been listed. A board's re-stamp does not reset it.

The same job, on four boards, with four different dates.

Read once, from the source. Postings come from the employer's own applicant tracking system or careers site, never from another board's copy.

See when we first found a posting

JobShifu records first-seen dates and repost history, and removes listings when its checks find they have disappeared from the employer's site. These signals help assess a posting's age; they do not confirm active interviewing.

Re-checked, and taken down when the sweep finds it gone

Every board is re-swept. Known re-posters, listings that reappear with a new stamp and no new requisition, are blocked at the source.

Scored against your profile before you open it

Parsed requirements help you compare roles. Add confirmed experience to your account to see a Fit read where enough information is available. What goes into it is below.

74%

Worth it · 6 of 8 requirements covered

Measured 2026-08-22: every open posting in the index comes from an employer-direct source. The remote-job aggregator feeds that made up the last 2% were retired on 22 August 2026. Google's own listings are deliberately not crawled.

Search jobs

Most job postings are still up a month later.

Rechecked daily on employers' own career pages, 56% to 69% of postings were still listed four weeks after they first appeared. A board you found the job on may keep showing one for longer.

  • 83% to 92% are still up after a week, 71% to 84% after two.
  • There is no day when postings suddenly drop off: the share falls a little each week.
  • The first-seen date on every card is what tells you which week you are in.

Is this one worth your evening?

JobShifu's Fit score rates how well one job matches your confirmed experience, as a percentage, and shows the reasoning behind the number. It runs before you tailor anything, and it is computed rather than generated: no language model is involved. The same job against the same Vault returns the same number, and every factor behind it is listed.

The question was never how many requirements you miss. It is whether the ones you miss sit at the centre of the job or at its edges.

Skills

84%

How much of the job's stated requirements your confirmed experience covers, weighted toward the must-haves rather than the full wish list.

Domain

72%

Overlap between the industries and problem spaces you have actually worked in and the one this role sits in. Earned, not claimed.

Level

78%

How the role's seniority compares to yours, blended with years of experience. Catches overshoot as well as undershoot.

Comp

dropped

Posted pay against your target, when both are known. Not posted on this job, so excluded from the average rather than guessed.

Alongside the number you get a recommendation in plain language, Strong Worth it Stretch Skip, with the covered-versus-total counts for must-haves and nice-to-haves. A missing input reduces how much the score can tell you. It does not reduce the score. And it does not move when other people apply: Fit reads your Vault against this job's requirements and nothing else.

Posting history and signals to help you decide

New

First seen inside the last 24 hours. Shown on its own: a card does not carry the fresh tag and a staleness caveat at the same time.

Reposted N×

The same employer requisition has been listed before, with the earlier first-seen date on the card. Often a slow pipeline or an evergreen listing.

Posted Nd ago

Over a month old. It may already be filled, and the card says so rather than showing a re-stamped date. Many still are: on the boards that can be followed past a month, 67% of postings were still listed at day 30.

Likely active / Aging / Possibly stale

A signal, not a verdict. Derived from age, repost history and whether a pay range is disclosed. Pay taken verbatim from the employer's applicant tracking system is marked ATS-verified.

How to tell if a job posting is a ghost job

"Ghost job" is the name people give a posting that is up without really being filled: a role already closed behind the scenes, a pipeline kept warm, a requisition on hold. That is an employer's intent, and intent is not something a crawl can observe. So these are signals rather than a verdict, and JobShifu does not label any posting as one.

Where the date came from

A board's date is usually the date the board last received the listing. The date worth reading is the first time the posting was seen on the employer's own system.

How long it has been up

A role that has sat on the employer's own board for months is unusual, and the first-seen date is what tells you, because a board stamp resets.

Whether it was listed before

A relist can be a reopened search, an evergreen posting or a hire that fell through. The count is a fact even when the reason is not.

Whether the employer still lists it

A board still serving a copy after the employer's page went quiet is the most common thing people mean when they say a posting was not real.

Any one of those has an innocent explanation. Read together they tell you how much of an evening a posting is worth. Check one posting against the crawl history.

What it is not

A board where employers pay to be seen

Nothing in the index is sponsored, promoted or boosted. A posting is there because the crawl found it on the employer's page, and it leaves when the crawl cannot.

An apply queue

The card links to the employer's own application page. JobShifu's part is what you bring to that page: a Fit read that shows its work, and a resume tailored to that posting from experience you confirmed.

A promise about the queue

This page makes no claim that applying in the first hours wins the job. The card reports what the crawl observes about a posting's age and history. An employer's hiring intent cannot be confirmed from a listing alone.

An index that is fresh only helps if you look at it, so JobShifu sends a free daily digest of new matches. Pro adds a first-hours lane that re-checks every 30 minutes. Search also finds the other titles your work posts as, so a role listed under a name you would never have typed still reaches you.

Common questions

Can I search jobs without signing up?

Yes. Browse JobShifu by job title and location without an account. An account adds saved jobs, additional filters and tools that use your confirmed experience. AI features have separate free allowances and paid options; see pricing for current limits.

Does direct employer sourcing eliminate ghost jobs?

No. An employer may leave a listing online while hiring is paused or maintain an evergreen opening. JobShifu shows observable posting history and checks for removals. Those signals cannot prove that interviews are happening or that a vacancy will be filled.

How soon after an employer posts a job does it appear here?

Refresh times vary by employer source. The figures above report the measured time for 90% of observed postings to appear, alongside the median. They describe a sample, not a deadline for every posting.

Check the measurement period alongside the figures when comparing freshness.

How can I tell whether a job posting is still open?

Every card shows the date JobShifu first saw the posting, whether the same requisition has been reposted and how many times, and a posting-health signal built from age, repost history and whether a pay range is disclosed. Postings the crawl can no longer find on the employer's page are removed.

What is the JobShifu Fit score?

Fit is a percentage rating of how well one job matches your confirmed experience, made of four sub-scores: skills, meaning how much of the job's requirements your experience covers; domain, meaning overlap between the industries and problem spaces you have actually worked in and the ones this role sits in; level, meaning seniority fit blended with years of experience; and comp, meaning posted pay against your target, when both are known.

Every score lists the factors that produced it.

Is the Fit score generated by AI?

No. Fit is computed, not generated. It is deterministic code combining requirement coverage, domain overlap, seniority and pay into a weighted average, so the same job and the same Vault produce the same number and the reasoning is inspectable.

This is a deliberate choice: a decision aid you cannot audit is one you cannot sensibly disagree with, and disagreeing with it is often the right move.

Does the Fit score change when other people apply?

No. Fit compares your Vault to this job's requirements and reads nothing else. It does not know how many people applied and does not move when more of them do.

This is the main difference from a job board's match badge, which typically ranks you inside the current applicant pool and recomputes as that pool changes. A badge like that can fall overnight without anything about you having changed, which tells you about a marketplace rather than about the job's suitability.

Why do some jobs show no match score at all?

Because there was nothing to measure. A similarity based percentage is defined for any two blocks of text, so it cannot come back empty, even on a posting with nothing useful in it. This one can. When a posting carries no recognised skills, the card reads "Not scored" and tells you that opening the job will get the full description read instead.

Related: a score built only from a posting's tags is capped at 88 and cannot reach the top of the scale, because it has not read a single requirement and cannot support a perfect match claim.

What is the difference between Fit and Readiness?

Fit is about the job and asks whether this is worth applying to, as a percentage, before you do any work. Readiness is about a document and asks whether this resume version answers this job well, on a 0 to 100 scale, while you tailor.

They move independently: a job can score a modest Fit and still produce a Ready resume, which tells you the application is as strong as it will get and the remaining gap is real.

Does applying through JobShifu put me in a queue?

No. JobShifu links to the employer's own application page. There is no board-side apply queue and no employer pays for placement in the index.

JobShifu's job is the Fit read and the tailored resume you bring to that page.

What percentage of job postings are ghost jobs?

JobShifu does not label postings as ghost jobs, so it has no share to report for that. Whether an employer means to fill a role is not something a crawl can see.

What it measures is what happens to postings. As of the August 2026 snapshot, 5.3% of 982,662 open roles across 18,835 employers had been listed, closed and listed again at least once, and most postings are still on the employer's own board four weeks after they first appear. How often postings are relisted and how long they stay open are both published in full.

A relist is not proof of intent. A hire falls through, a budget is re-approved, a team genuinely reopens a search, and the crawl sees the same thing in every case.
