You only have so many good applications in you, so don't waste them on a posting that's a ghost listing or a trap. Paste one in and this flags the ghost-job tells, the red flags hiding in the buzzwords, and whether it's worth your afternoon. Tell it the role you want and what you care about and the read gets personal.
Three of those words are warnings, and "competitive" means they won't say. This reads the posting the way a tired friend in HR would: what's real, what's a flag, and whether it's worth your afternoon. Tell it the role you want and what you care about, and the read gets sharper.

SAMPLE

VERDICT
Probably real, and a fair fit for a senior IC, but the pay is vague and the scope reads like two jobs in one. Since stability is your priority, treat this as a careful application, not a rushed one.
HOW YOU STACK UP
Your six years and two end-to-end product launches clear their senior bar comfortably. You're light on the people-management they hint at, and there's no payments experience on your resume, which this role leans on.
CLOSE THESE FIRST
•
No direct reports listed, and they want someone who's led a team.
•
Zero payments or billing work, which is half the job here.
Good signs
•
Posts a salary band ($95k to $120k), which most ghost listings hide.
•
Names the actual team and who you'd report to.
•
Says hybrid two days a week, which matches what you're after.
•
Posted 4 days ago, not recycled for months.
Red flags
WARNING
"Startup pace, wear many hats" with no headcount, often one role doing the work of three.
WARNING
Asks for senior ownership but the band tops out below market for your level.
NOTE
No mention of how the last person in the role left, worth asking.
Ghost-job signals
•
Same title reposted every few weeks for five months.
•
"Always accepting applications" boilerplate at the bottom.
