How Zeltru works

Simple. Factual. No ratings inflation.

01

Search any company

Look up a tracked company to see how long its postings actually stay open.

02

Share your experience

Report your application in 5 minutes. Fixed answers — no free-text bias.

03

Patterns become public

At five settled reports, a company's no-response figures publish. Below that, nothing does.

Reported figures — no-response rates, and the breakdown by stage — publish per company at five settled reports; no company has reached that yet. A rejection never counts as no response, and silence counts only after 14 days. The rules in full · Report an experience →
