How VerifyJobs Works

Our rule-based engine checks over 50 scam indicators in seconds and returns a clear risk score, verdict, and action plan — with no AI black box and no registration required.

The Process, Step by Step

1
You submit the job posting

Paste the description text, upload a PDF or Word document, or enter the URL of the posting. All three methods feed into the same analysis engine.

2
Text is extracted and normalised

For files, we extract raw text using a PDF parser or Word document reader. For URLs, we analyse the domain and structure. All text is cleaned and standardised before analysis.

3
50+ rule checks run in parallel

Our engine scans the text against a library of weighted rules — each one corresponding to a known scam pattern. Each rule that matches adds to the risk score; each positive signal (like a professional email domain or detailed job requirements) adds to the legitimacy score.

4
Scores are calculated and a verdict is assigned

Risk and legitimacy scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale. The final verdict — Scam, Suspicious, Caution, or Legitimate — is determined by the balance of both scores against defined thresholds.

5
You get a full report with specific evidence

The result shows your scores, every specific red flag found (quoted from the text where possible), positive signals, a plain-English explanation, and a list of recommended next steps tailored to the verdict.

Understanding the Risk Score

The risk score measures how many and how severe the scam indicators are in the posting. It runs from 0 (no indicators) to 100 (maximum indicators). Here's what each band means:

70–100
High Risk / Likely Scam

Multiple serious indicators detected. Do not proceed. Do not pay or share any personal or financial information.

45–69
Suspicious / Caution Advised

Several warning signs present. Research the company thoroughly and verify the contact independently before responding.

0–44
Lower Risk / Likely Legitimate

Few or no major red flags. Still do your own due diligence — verify the company exists and confirm the contact details through official channels.

What We Check (50+ Indicators)

Every analysis runs these checks, each weighted by how strongly it correlates with fraud:

Upfront payment requests
Free email domains (Gmail, Yahoo)
Unrealistic salary claims
Urgency and pressure language
WhatsApp-only contact
Early personal document requests
Cryptocurrency payment references
Vague or missing company details
No formal interview mentioned
Suspicious or mismatched URLs
Poor grammar / spelling patterns
Multi-level referral schemes
