Job scams are at an
all-time high

Fraudulent job postings don't just waste your time — they steal your personal information, your money, and sometimes your identity.

1 in 6

Job seekers targeted by scams

Fake postings on LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter collect resumes, SSNs, bank details, and personal information from unsuspecting applicants.

72%

Of jobs are cross-posted without verification

Job boards republish listings automatically without verifying they still exist, come from a real employer, or haven't been duplicated by scammers.

3.4hrs

Average time wasted per fraudulent application

Customizing your resume, writing a cover letter, and completing an application for a job that doesn't exist — or worse, was designed to steal from you.

What scammers do with
your job application

A fake job posting is one of the most efficient ways to harvest personal information at scale.

Resume harvesting

Your name, address, phone, employment history, and references — collected and sold in bulk to data brokers and identity thieves.

Direct deposit fraud

"We need your bank details for onboarding" — a classic opening to drain accounts before you realize the job never existed.

SSN collection

Fake background check forms and I-9 requests collect Social Security numbers under the guise of employment verification.

Interview impersonation

Scammers impersonate real companies on video calls, creating convincing fake interview experiences before "hiring" and requesting personal data.

From paste to package
in under 60 seconds

Paste any job description from any source. JobIQ does the rest — no searching required.

1

Paste any job description

From LinkedIn, Indeed, a recruiter email, anywhere. We extract the key details automatically.

2

We find the original source

Our engine traces the posting back to the employer's own career page — the only trustworthy source.

3

Legitimacy is verified

Each result gets a trust rating — Confirmed, Cross-posted, Unverified, or Red flags detected.

4

Apply with confidence

Get a tailored cover letter, match score, and follow-up emails — built for the verified role.

Five tiers of trust.
Total transparency.

Every search result gets a clear trust rating so you always know exactly what you're applying to.

Confirmed
Found directly on the employer's own career page. This is the real posting — apply with full confidence.
Cross-posted
Verified across multiple job boards simultaneously. Real posting, real company — just not on their own site.
Unverified
No red flags detected, but we couldn't independently confirm it. Proceed with normal caution.
AI suggested
AI found this as a research lead but it's not a confirmed live listing. Treat as a starting point, not a confirmed opportunity.
Red flags detected
Scam signals detected — mismatched domains, suspicious phrasing, or known fraud patterns. Do not apply.

Everything you need to
apply smarter

JobIQ isn't a job board. It's the intelligence layer on top of every job board.

Source verification

Every job is traced back to its original source and verified for legitimacy before you see it. No more guessing if a posting is real.

All plans

Resume match scoring

Upload your resume once. Every search result gets scored against your background — A, B, C, D grades with specific reasoning.

All plans

AI cover letters

Human-sounding, tailored cover letters that don't use the AI tells recruiters recognize — no em dashes, no "I am excited to apply," no bullet points.

Pro & Elite

Follow-up email drafts

Day 5, 10, and 14 follow-up email drafts are generated with every application package. Copy and send from your own inbox.

Pro & Elite

Follow-up reminders

Dashboard alerts and browser notifications tell you when a follow-up is due, overdue, or coming up — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Pro & Elite

Multiple resume versions

Keep separate resumes for different roles — "Tech Leadership" and "Sales-focused" — and set which one is primary for matching.

Pro (3) / Elite (unlimited)

Apply before the
crowd arrives
