GhostBuster Jobs

Flag ghost jobs, stale listings, and reposts on LinkedIn Jobs. Hide low-signal cards to surface fresh, real opportunities.

GhostBuster Jobs — Cut Through the Noise on LinkedIn Jobs Are you tired of scrolling through the same reposted listings from months ago? Frustrated by "ghost jobs" that were never real, or roles that are already filled? GhostBuster Jobs is a smart filter layer for LinkedIn's job search — helping you instantly identify and collapse low-quality listings so you can focus on what matters: fresh, real opportunities. —————————————————— WHAT GHOSTBUSTER DOES —————————————————— GhostBuster runs quietly on LinkedIn Jobs search pages. It scans the job cards already visible on your screen and applies heuristic rules to flag or collapse listings that look stale, reposted, or suspicious — without touching your account data or sending anything to any server. —————————————————— CORE FEATURES —————————————————— 🟢 Fresh Badge — Instantly spot jobs posted in the last 3 days 🔴 Likely Stale — Flag jobs older than your chosen age threshold (7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days) 🟡 Possibly Reposted — Badge cards where LinkedIn shows the "Reposted" label 🟤 Company Blacklist — Auto-collapse jobs from companies you never want to see again 🟣 Keyword Filters — Flag listings containing words you choose ("always hiring", "talent pool", etc.) ⚫ Review Manually — Built-in detection of pipeline and evergreen listing patterns —————————————————— YOU STAY IN CONTROL —————————————————— • Master on/off switch in the popup — disable instantly, anytime • Choose your own age threshold — 7 to 90 days or no limit at all • Collapse filtered jobs to a slim strip (reveal on hover) rather than removing them entirely • "Show hidden jobs" toggle reveals everything with one click • Full options page to manage your blacklist, keywords, and all preferences • Clear all local data with one button — no traces left behind —————————————————— 100% PRIVATE — YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR BROWSER —————————————————— GhostBuster is built with privacy as a non-negotiable: ✅ Reads only the text already visible in job cards on your screen ✅ Stores only your own settings, locally on your device ✅ Zero network requests — no data sent anywhere, ever ✅ No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking of any kind ✅ No account credentials, cookies, or browsing history accessed ✅ Only activates on LinkedIn Jobs pages — completely invisible everywhere else —————————————————— HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITATIONS —————————————————— GhostBuster uses transparent heuristics — not guarantees. A "Likely Stale" badge means the visible posted date exceeds your threshold — not that the job is definitely closed or fake. A "Possibly Reposted" badge means LinkedIn displayed that word on the card. Always verify listings yourself before making career decisions. GhostBuster helps you triage — you make the final call. —————————————————— MINIMAL PERMISSIONS — NOTHING EXTRA —————————————————— • storage — to save your filter settings locally on your device • activeTab — to communicate with the active LinkedIn Jobs tab when the popup is open • Access to linkedin.com/jobs/* pages only — no other websites, ever • No access to <all_urls>, history, cookies, or any sensitive API —————————————————— WHO IT'S FOR —————————————————— • Active job seekers who are tired of stale noise in their LinkedIn search results • Anyone who wants to surface recent, high-signal listings faster • Power users who want control over what they see without leaving LinkedIn —————————————————— OPEN AND REVIEWABLE —————————————————— The extension source is clean, well-commented, and reviewable. Every permission is justified in the documentation. The privacy policy explains exactly what is and isn't collected — because the answer is essentially nothing. GhostBuster Jobs is an independent extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn Corporation.
