A mark of trust.

FairJobhunt exists because too many UK job ads don't say what the job is. Titles get inflated to sound clever. Descriptions read like marketing brochures. Salary is "competitive". Hours are "flexible". By the time you've read three paragraphs, you still don't know what you'd be doing on a Tuesday morning.

So we hold employers to a simple standard: list honestly, or don't list at all. Every role on FairJobhunt has to use a job title that matches the work. A description that reads like the actual day. A salary range with real numbers. Real hours, a real term, a real start date, and an honest answer to "how would I get there?".

No "Sales Ninja" for a phone seat. No "Family Atmosphere" doing the work of three people. No "competitive salary". No blanks. If a posting won't say what the job is, our screening either flags it for review or refuses to publish it.

And on the other side of the table, Jobhunters apply on merit. A chosen nickname instead of a real name. No photo. No age. No postcode. Just skills, experience, and a fair shot at a role that's been described fairly.

And no ghosting. If a company or agency has reached out to an applicant – a message, a call, an interview, anything at all – they owe that person a reply. If the applicant isn't going through to the next stage, they get told, kindly and clearly, so they can move on. Silence isn't an answer. Employers who ghost candidates on FairJobhunt get flagged, and repeat offenders lose their right to post.

The motto is simple: posting on FairJobhunt is itself a mark of trust. For employers, that the role on the page is the role on offer. For Jobhunters, that what you read is what you'd actually do.
