Show HN: LinkedIn Job Scam Detector – Catch fake recruiters and job scams

[hienyimba]

Taken from David Dodda's blog post yesterday:

"Verify everything. Real LinkedIn profile doesn't mean real person. Real company doesn't mean real opportunity."

His story (How I almost got hacked by a job interview - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45591707) shows how easy it is to fall for professional-looking LinkedIn scams.

We built a tool that checks the job posting, the recruiter profile and the company's company pages for red flags. all in one straightforward report.
