How we verify jobs
Most job boards leave you guessing whether a listing is even real. Here is exactly how CitizenHire works, what we can promise, and what we honestly cannot.
Every job comes straight from the employer
We do not accept posts from recruiters, agencies, or random submitters. Every listing is pulled directly from an employer's own official hiring system (their Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, or similar careers board). When you click Apply, you land on that same official system. We never take your application, and we never charge you a cent.
We re-check every job, every day
Once a day we re-fetch every employer's careers board and compare it to what we show. If a role is no longer on the employer's board, we mark it closed and take it down automatically, usually within 24 hours. That is why each listing carries a plain "Verified {date}" stamp: it is the last time we confirmed the role against its source.
The result: you should almost never hit a dead link or a role that quietly closed weeks ago. Freshness is the one thing we can genuinely guarantee, so it is the thing we built the whole system around.
What "verified" means here
- It is real and it is live at the employer right now, from their own system, not copied from a third party.
- It is remote, and we tell you where you can actually apply from (worldwide, a specific country, or a timezone band) instead of hiding a "US-only" surprise until the final round.
- The apply link goes to the employer, on their real domain, so you can see exactly who you are dealing with.
What we cannot promise (and won't pretend to)
Being honest about the limits is part of earning your trust:
- We cannot read an employer's intent. Industry data suggests a meaningful share of postings everywhere are "ghost jobs" that a company is slow to fill or filling internally. A role can be genuinely open on the employer's system and still go nowhere. We remove dead listings; we cannot detect a hiring manager's mind. When a role has been open an unusually long time, we flag it so you can weigh that.
- We cannot make employers reply. Ghosting after you apply or interview is real and common, and it happens entirely on the employer's side, after you leave our site. No job board can fix that, and we will not imply we can.
Something looks wrong?
If a listing seems fake, misleading, or stale, tell us and we will review and remove it. Email contact@citizenhire.com. Employers who want a listing removed can use the same address and we act the same day.
