Ghost jobs have poisoned candidate trust in job boards. The best applicants now assume most listings aren't real. The Verified Active Hiring™ badge tells them yours is.
The Problem
When 1 in 4 job listings is a ghost, candidates stop trusting the job board. That erodes the quality of your applicant pool — and you pay the price.
Candidates applying to hundreds of listings spray-and-pray because they don't trust any of them are real. Your inbox fills with noise.
Serious job seekers are burned out. Many have quietly stopped applying to boards they don't trust — including yours, even if it's legitimate.
You're paying Indeed and LinkedIn per-click, per-post, or per-application — but there's no signal on whether the candidates who apply are actually qualified.
Skip the Ghost is building a verified hiring network. Employers who hold the badge are vouched for — your listings score high and your applications come from candidates who already know your opening is real. No spray-and-pray. No noise.
What You Get
One subscription. Every tool you need to reach the candidates who matter.
Your postings display the Verified Active Hiring™ badge, signaling to every STG user that your openings are real and actively reviewed.
Applications flow to your private STG portal — not an email inbox. Log in, review candidates, manage your queue. Built for hiring, not IT.
Every STG applicant submits a clean, consistent format. No more parsing 50 different resume styles or missing information you always ask for anyway.
Add your own questions on top of the STG standard fields. Pre-qualify candidates before they hit your portal — filter for what actually matters to your team.
STG users are job seekers who filter listings before applying. They already know your opening scored high — they're applying because they want the job.
Badge holders receive priority placement in STG search results and listings feeds. Your openings surface first to the candidates most likely to apply.
How It Works
The badge is simple to set up and built to stay out of your way.
Choose a plan, verify your company, and get your badge. Setup takes minutes — no IT project, no new ATS.
Every one of your active postings gets the badge automatically. STG users see your listings first and know they're real before they apply.
Candidates apply through STG's standardized form. You manage your applicant queue in the portal — review, shortlist, and respond from one place.
