Yesterday, I received a fake job offer from someone who claimed they found my resume on LinkedIn. At first, it seemed legitimate—the company name was real, the message was professional, and they wanted to move quickly. However, after doing some checks, I realized it was a scam. This experience motivated me to create a tool called JobVerify, which is open-source. It analyzes job offers for common scam patterns and helps users verify the company and recruiter before responding. I’m sharing it here to gather feedback from anyone who often encounters these scams. What checks do you perform to verify job offers? Are there any specific indicators you think JobVerify should include that it currently doesn't? You can find the tool on GitHub: github.com/yessGlory17/job-verify.
