As a job interview coach and founder of Interview Boss, I’ve worked with hundreds of candidates navigating the remote job market — including sales roles. So I completely understand the frustration around “ghost jobs” and scam postings. Unfortunately, remote sales is one of the most targeted categories for fake listings, so your caution is 100% valid.

And just to clarify: Clarity isn’t a job board — you won’t find actual jobs listed here. But it is the right place to ask questions like this and get real, experience-backed answers.

✅ To build on the great answer already shared…

They covered the core red flags really well — things like vague job descriptions, suspicious payment requests, or offers without interviews. I’d add a few extra tips and examples from working behind the scenes with job seekers and hiring teams:

💡 Tips for Spotting Real Remote Sales Jobs:
✔️ Always verify on the company’s own site. If a job’s not listed on the company’s careers page, be skeptical. Some fake listings are copy/pasted from old posts or made up entirely.

✔️ Check the communication tone and platform. Legit recruiters typically reach out via LinkedIn or email from a company domain (e.g., @company.com). If you're contacted via Gmail, WhatsApp, or Telegram, it’s often a scam.

✔️ Reverse-search job posts. If the exact same job post shows up on 20 random sites, it was likely scraped and reposted. High-quality companies rarely post that way.

✔️ Assess the hiring flow. Real jobs have structured hiring processes: application → screening call → interviews → offer. If it jumps from application to “You’re hired!” — it’s likely fake or predatory.

✔️ Beware of lead-gen schemes disguised as jobs. I’ve known candidates who were unknowingly recruited into commission-only roles that weren’t even real jobs — just pipelines for generating sales leads for others.

🔍 Safer Sources for Remote Sales Roles:
The previous answer shared some great job boards. I’d especially vouch for:

AngelList Talent (for early-stage startups)
FlexJobs (paid, but rigorously vetted)
LinkedIn Jobs (use filters + set alerts)
Direct company career pages (often the most accurate)
