When Jay Jones started documenting fake job listings on LinkedIn, no one was tracking this at scale. No government agency. No platform enforcement team. No non-profit. He built the investigative infrastructure himself — the tools, the protocols, the case files, the takedown process — from nothing.
55,582 fake job removals later, the mission is the same. But the scope has expanded to include corporate infiltration, proxy interview networks, platform data harvesting, North Korean IT fraud, and brand impersonation at industrial scale.
This work is not funded by a grant, a foundation, or a platform. It's funded by people who believe it matters. If The Profiler's work has protected you, your company, or someone you know — consider investing in what continues it.
"Jay brought to my attention an individual who was impersonating me and stealing money from job seekers. Within 24 hours the account was suspended and the threat eliminated. Then he connected us with the job seeker so we could help make them whole."
— Claire D., Washington (Founder + CEO, Traction Resume)
