JobGhosting
Job posting? Job ghosting.

Wall of Shame

Ranked by how many of each company's currently-openroles have sat 90+ days — algorithm, not vibes — then nudged by how recognizable the offender is, so a name you know doesn't hide behind a smaller board (the long tail still makes the list). Each company shows two numbers: Ghosty now (share of open roles that are ghosts today) and Track record(share across every role we've ever tracked). When “now” runs far above the track record, a company is posting like it's still hypergrowth long after the hiring actually slowed — you make the call.

Smaller boards (≤120 active reqs). A zombie posting here is harder to excuse — they aren't running an always-on hiring machine.
