Ghosted: Never Get Ghosted Again

Ghosted is a decentralized job application and networking platform that ensures proof of applications, recruiter accountability, and verifiable credentials—eliminating the uncertainty of traditional job hunts. Every application is hashed on-chain, preventing recruiters from ignoring or denying receipt. A decentralized reputation system rates companies based on response times and hiring practices, ensuring transparency. Web3-verified credentials eliminate fake resumes, while smart contract-driven follow-ups automate reminders, ensuring recruiters respond—or face penalties. With Ghosted, job seekers reclaim control, and recruiters stay accountable. Because even Casper had better communication skills. 🚀
