How it works
Four moves, in order.
Every other tool starts at step two — helping you apply faster to jobs nobody checked. Diogenes starts one step earlier, where the effort actually gets wasted.
Step 01 · the part nobody else does
The Job Checker
Paste a posting. Diogenes reads it for the tells — repost history, vague scope, missing pay — then searches what's actually public about the company and the market rate.
- —a ghost-risk read, with the exact signals behind it
- —scam warning signs, quoted from the posting, and where to report
- —salary reality — what they listed vs. what the market pays
- —what people actually say about working there
- —likely interview questions, and a way to practice them
- —a confidence meter, because he won't pretend to be certain
2 credits per check · never returns a fake 100
Check a job postingListed $110–135k. Market for this role and city sits at $105–130k — they're at the top of it, not fishing.
Three reviews mention the design team lost its lead in Q1. Worth asking who you'd report to.
Confidence 81% · anything Diogenes can't verify comes back empty, not invented.

FAQ
How accurate is the ghost-job check?
It's a strong signal, not proof. Diogenes reads the posting for known warning signs and searches what's public about the company, then tells you how confident it is.
It can be wrong. That's why every verdict shows a confidence level and the exact signals behind it, so you can judge for yourself.
Can Diogenes spot job scams?
It flags warning signs it can quote from the posting itself: asking you to pay a fee, asking for your passport or ID before an interview, asking you to top up with crypto, or asking you to receive and forward transfers. It only says "likely scam" when it can point to signs like those.
It never says a job is safe. No tool can promise that: if anything about a job asks for your money or documents, stop and report it, whatever Diogenes says.
Ghost job or scam? How to tell →What is a ghost job?
A posting with little or no real intent to hire right now: "always hiring" listings, reposts that never close, or postings used to collect resumes.
Read the full guide →What's a credit? Do they expire?
Each tool costs a few credits: a resume check is 1, a Job Check is 2, a mock interview is 4. Credits never expire, and nothing auto-renews.
What if Diogenes gets it wrong?
Tell us. Email us the verdict and what you know, and we'll look at it. If a check fails on our side, you don't lose the credit.
Contact us →Do you store my resume or train AI on it?
We store what you choose to save, so it can pre-fill your checks. We never sell your personal data and never use your resume to train AI. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from Settings.
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy credits when you need them. Job searches come in bursts, so we don't think you should pay monthly for one.
Can I get a refund?
Credits are delivered instantly, so spent credits can't be refunded. If a purchase went wrong, you were charged in error, or a tool didn't deliver, email us, and you keep your rights under law.
