Pricing
from $0.80 / 1,000 job scoreds
Check job data you already have for ghost jobs: open too long, reposted, re-dated, evergreen wording, closed but still listed, no pay. Every job gets a 0-100 score and the reason for each point, quoted from the posting. Works on any job scraper's rows. Nothing is scraped.
