Zero Ghost Jobs. Zero Sold Data.
100% Radical Transparency.
Traditional job boards profit from pay-per-click clicks, keeping closed jobs alive, and selling candidate resumes. MyCareerWave operates as a donation-supported public utility. Here is our live audit ledger.

The 14-Day Stale Job Policy
Why jobs on MyCareerWave never sit stale for months
Postings must provide verifiable evidence. If a company account is in review, it receives an unverified flag with a visible timestamp.
Any listing from an unverified employer that remains unreviewed for 14 days is automatically stripped from search and archived permanently.
We periodically verify that original company career endpoints return HTTP 200. If an ATS listing closes, our system archives it within 24 hours.
Commercial Job Boards vs. MyCareerWave
Why structural incentives define recruitment quality
| Feature / Standard | For-Profit Boards (LinkedIn, Indeed) | MyCareerWave (Non-Profit Public Good) |
|---|---|---|
| Funding Source | Pay-per-click ads, recruiter subscriptions, paid job boosts | Community micro-donations & voluntary ethical patron employers |
| Ghost Jobs Handling | Left open indefinitely to artificially inflate traffic and clicks | Auto-archived after 14 days if unverified; zero dead listings tolerated |
| Candidate Data Privacy | Resumes mined, indexed for corporate headhunters, shared with tracking networks | Strict GDPR compliance, zero data sold, instant one-click data purge |
| Visa & Relocation Clarity | Generic tags; often turns out to be "EU citizens only" after applying | Statutory Skilled Immigration Act (FEG) alignment & verified work permit eligibility |
| Salary Transparency | Frequently hidden behind "Competitive" to suppress applicant leverage | Pre-disclosed gross annual salary ranges in EUR (€) on all genuine roles |
GDPR by Design & Data Sovereignty
We operate exclusively under strict European Union data protection regulations. We do not track you with third-party advertising cookies, and your uploaded CV is strictly used to match you with legitimate positions. Under GDPR Article 17, you can permanently erase your entire record with a single click from your candidate dashboard.
Ethical AI Principles
Our AI engines assist candidates with European CV formatting, language qualification checks, and bureaucratic translation. We will never use your private professional history to train closed commercial foundation models, and we never use opaque algorithmic scoring to secretly disqualify candidates.
