Is this job legit?
Inspect where a posting came from, when JobzMall last heard from that source, and where the application goes.
Start with what the posting lets you inspect: where it came from, when JobzMall last heard from that source, and where an application goes. Read the label on the posting, or paste the job URL at Ads Transparency.
Search brings career-page roles and marketplace listings into one place. The source label says which kind you are looking at. It is not a score of the employer. If JobzMall cannot attribute a source with enough confidence, it does not invent one.
What the source means
- Live Jobs come from an employer's official career page, or an equivalent employer-controlled channel, and are refreshed from those signals. Look for the Live badge. That tells you the posting is tied to that source. The role can still close between updates.
- Marketplace listings are posted through a JobzMall employer account, or surfaced from network signals, public information, or job datasets. They are shown as detected. Detection is not proof the employer authorized the listing on JobzMall.
- Indexed channels are pulled from employer ATS feeds and boards when those connections exist. That tells you the role came through that connection.
Employers who post on JobzMall go through review, including email, mobile, and document checks, and can claim the organization in the Verification Center. That review is separate from the source label. A reviewed poster can still have a marketplace listing that is not a Live Job.
What else to read before you apply
Those same fields — when JobzMall last heard from the source, and where the application goes — are the Job Posting Nutrition Label. Use them to decide where a resume would actually be sent.
The label answers where a posting came from. It does not, by itself, settle a fraudulent job (someone trying to take money or identity), a ghost job (a real employer with no present vacancy), or a stale job (a real opening that has already closed).
A real job does not ask you to pay
The Candidate Bill of Rights includes the right to know the source, when it was last verified, and where your information goes — and the right not to pay to obtain a legitimate employment offer. Treat the job as not legitimate if it asks you to pay, or asks for a bank login or a government ID before there is a real offer.
You also have the right to report and receive a response. Use Report a listing. The short version of the label is What the source label means. Do not send photos of an identification document or a payment card. The longer list of patterns is Spotting job scams.
