Est. 2026 · A verification engine for remote work

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.

¶ The Verifier

Four pillars, one report.

01

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
02

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
03

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
04

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


From the Editors

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.
