🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that flags job postings with high 'click-to-premium' conversion patterns
  2. A community-verified database where users can report and confirm the legitimacy of specific job listings
  3. A platform-wide verification badge system for employers to prove job openings are active and legitimate
