How It Works

GhostIndex uses crowdsourced, verified reports to calculate transparency scores for employers.

1. Search Companies

Look up any company to see their Ghost Index Score before you apply. See how many reports they have and what candidates experienced.

2. Submit a Report

Been ghosted? Submit a report with the company name, your application date, and what stage you reached. Your identity stays private.

3. Verify via Email

We send you a verification email to confirm your report is legitimate. This keeps our data accurate and trustworthy.

4. Score Updates

Verified reports update the company's Ghost Index Score in real-time. More reports = more accurate scores.

Understanding the Ghost Index Score

0-39
Low Risk

Company generally responds to candidates

40-69
Moderate Risk

Mixed feedback—some candidates ghosted

70-100
High Risk

Frequently ghosts candidates—proceed with caution

Scores are calculated using verified reports, weighted by recency (newer reports count more), interview stage reached, and whether the report was verified via email.
