How Sentari Scores Job Postings
Every job posting analyzed by Sentari is scored across four dimensions: recruiter authenticity, employer reputation, posting integrity, and compensation realism. Together they produce a single Trust Score from 0–100.
The four signal families
- Recruiter authenticity — domain age, contact-channel hygiene, profile cross-references.
- Employer reputation — verified hiring history, employee corroboration, public legal record.
- Posting integrity — language fingerprints associated with known scams, fee-up-front patterns, ghost-job markers.
- Compensation realism — comparing offered ranges against market data for the role + location.
