    • Check for signs of financial instability or project losses that might suggest the company is posting jobs to appear active or build a talent pool.
  3. Job Posting Analysis:
    • Evaluate the {Job Title} job listing based on the following ghost job indicators:
      • Posting Duration and Repetition: Check if the role has been listed for over 60–90 days or reposted multiple times on [Indeed], LinkedIn, or the company’s career page
      • Description Specificity: Assess if the job description is vague, generic, or overly broad, or if it includes specific, niche requirements
      • Requirements Feasibility: Determine if the qualifications are realistic or unusually restrictive, potentially indicating a role tailored for an internal candidate or to deter applicants.
      • Salary Competitiveness: Compare the salary range {Job Salary} to market averages for {Job Title} roles in The UK
      • Application Process: Note if the listing uses low-effort methods like “Easy Apply” or lacks clear application instructions, which can signal a resume-collecting tactic.
  4. Ghost Job Likelihood:
    • Based on the above, provide a conclusion on the likelihood (low, moderate, high) that the {Job Title} role is a ghost job, explaining key factors (e.g., company stability, posting characteristics, or lack of project evidence).
    • Suggest red flags to watch for (e.g., stalled hiring process, vague responses from HR).
