Ever applied for a job or internship and never heard back? With many companies not sending rejection emails, it’s hard to know if you should keep waiting or move on.
Frustrated by being ghosted during my own internship search, I built didtheyghost.me — an open-source, community-driven tool designed to bring transparency to job applications.
It’s not another job scraper or job board. Instead, think of it like the Internet Archive, but for job applications. It answers questions like:
- Has anyone heard back from this role?
- How long does it usually take to hear back?
- What are the online assessments/interview rounds like for company X?
- And the big one: Did they ghost me?
How it works:
1/ See a job listing (e.g., LinkedIn), apply for it, and haven’t heard back?
2/ Use the platform to check if others got replies, interviews, or offers.
3/ Find out if you’re in the same boat or possibly ghosted.
It’s completely free, open-source, no ads, and community-driven — built by job applicants, for job applicants.
Open-source code (stars appreciated!): GitHub
