The confidence level indicates how the salary figure was obtained:

High: The salary is explicitly advertised on the listing.

A ghost job signal is a characteristic that may suggest a listing is stale, repeatedly advertised or not being actively filled. Some signals may also indicate that a listing is being used primarily to build a candidate database rather than recruit for a specific vacancy.

These indicators are not conclusive, but they can help you decide whether to investigate the employer and application process before sharing personal information.

Some employers, recruiters and job platforms maintain candidate databases for future opportunities. This is not necessarily improper, but the advertised position may not always represent an immediate vacancy.

Before applying, check who is collecting your information, where the application link leads and how your personal data will be handled.
