Read the posting.
Trust the work.
Lighthouse inspects any remote job posting against four pillars — Real, Active, Fair, Credible — and returns a transparent report with cited evidence. Built for the job seeker. Cited like a journalist. Audited like a credit report.
Four pillars, one report.
Real
Is the company real, the recruiter identifiable, and the posting authored on the company’s own surface?
- WHOIS · domain age
- SEC / Companies House
- Recruiter LinkedIn tenure
- Copy novelty score
Active
Is the role open, fresh, and being filled — or is it warehousing résumés while the team does other work?
- Archive.org snapshots
- Repost diff across boards
- Hiring-thread response times
- Last-Modified headers
Fair
Are pay, equity, and scope coherent with the level described — and free of unpaid-trial and hidden-fee patterns?
- Levels.fyi percentile bands
- Carta equity benchmarks
- Scope-to-comp ratio
- Process-fee detection
Credible
Does the company actually exist as a working entity — product, team history, funding, and observable activity?
- Public product surface
- Founder employment graph
- Funding via Crunchbase
- GitHub commit volume
Job-scam losses tripled from $90M in 2020 to $501Min 2024. AI made the fakes look real; we built an opposing AI to make the real ones look real, too. Lighthouse does not curate listings. It inspects whatever you bring it — LinkedIn, Indeed, a recruiter DM, a friend's referral — and shows its work.
