Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. PERM filings are public DOL records. The Department of Labor publishes bulk CSV exports of all H-1B and PERM labor certification applications. We parse and index these records so you can cross-reference job postings. There is nothing private or scraped about this data.

Our internal testing shows 85-95% precision on known ghost jobs (PERM filings with job descriptions). PERM boilerplate detection alone is 95-99% precise. The score combines 12 signals - higher confidence signals like PERM cross-reference carry more weight than softer signals like posting age.

Yes. The Chrome extension injects directly into LinkedIn job listing pages and reads the job description from the DOM. It also works on Indeed. The Ghost Score badge appears inline next to the job title within seconds.

PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is a DOL process employers use to sponsor foreign workers for green cards. To file PERM, employers must post a public job ad - but they often have no intention of hiring from the US talent pool. These postings look real but the job is already spoken for. We cross-reference 300K+ PERM filings against live job postings.

Yes. Free users get 5 scans per day, the Ghost Score + verdict, top 3 detection signals, 1 employer match, and the top 50 of the Filing Pattern Index. No credit card required. Free forever — not a trial. Upgrade to Standard for unlimited scans, all signals, and full data.

LinkedIn and Indeed are supported in Phase 1. Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, and direct company career pages are on the roadmap. The scoring engine works on any text - the extension just needs to extract it.

No. Hire4Real.fyi analyzes publicly available government records and job posting text you paste in. Companies cannot detect or track who uses the tool. Your job search stays completely private.

LinkedIn Premium costs $29.99/month and tells you you're a 'Top Applicant' — but doesn't tell you if the job is real. Hire4Real.fyi cross-references every posting against 300,000+ DOL PERM filings, WARN Act layoff notices, and 12 detection signals to score whether the job actually exists.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. Email refund@hire4real.fyi within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full. No questions asked. We'd rather lose $14.99 than your trust.

You shouldn't need us for 12 months. If our tool works, you'll find a real job in 1-3 months. You'll cancel. We'll be happy for you. That's the whole point. We don't want to lock you in — we want to get you hired.

Yes. Employers can submit a dispute at hire4real.fyi/dispute with supporting evidence. We review all disputes within 5 business days and correct scores where data errors are identified. Scores are based on public DOL records, not opinions.

All data comes from publicly available U.S. government sources: DOL PERM labor certification filings (quarterly release), WARN Act layoff notices, USCIS H-1B employer data, and visa bulletin archives. We do not scrape job boards or use proprietary data. See our full methodology at hire4real.fyi/methodology.

Yes - especially well. Our Sponsor Track tier includes visa intelligence: green card timeline estimates, employer immigration report cards, and OPT clock tracking. These features use USCIS data to help H-1B/F-1 visa holders evaluate employers before applying.

We never sell, share, or trade your data. We don't store the job descriptions you paste - they're analyzed in memory and discarded. Your scan history is tied to your account and deletable at any time. See our privacy policy for details.
