Job postings are routinely removed once a position is filled or the listing period expires. If you later discover that your actual employment terms differ from what was advertised, having a saved copy of the original posting can be critical evidence. Kiroku lets you archive any job listing page with a screenshot, full HTML, and AI summary before it disappears.
You found a job posting offering a great salary, flexible hours, and excellent benefits. You applied, interviewed, and accepted the offer. But once you started, the reality was very different — lower pay, longer hours, and none of the perks mentioned in the ad. When you try to go back and check the original posting, it has already been taken down.
This guide explains how to save job postings from sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor before they disappear, so you have evidence if employment terms turn out to be different from what was advertised.
Why job listings disappear
Unlike most web pages, job postings have a limited lifespan. They are designed to be temporary — once their purpose is served, they are removed. This creates a problem if you need to reference the original listing later.
- The position has been filled and the employer closes the listing
- The paid posting period (typically 2–4 weeks) has expired
- The employer modifies or withdraws the listing
- The job board redesigns its site, breaking old URLs
- The listing was a bait-and-switch posting that gets reported and removed
When to save a job posting
The best time to save a job posting is as soon as you find one that interests you. Here are the key moments when archiving is most valuable.
- When you first find an interesting listing (for comparison purposes)
- Before you submit your application
- Before your interview, to review the stated requirements and conditions
- When you receive an offer, to compare it against the original posting
By the time you realize your employment conditions differ from the job ad, the posting is almost certainly gone. Save it before you apply.
How to archive a job posting with Kiroku
Open the full job detail page in your browser and copy the URL from the address bar. Make sure you are on the detailed listing page, not a search results page.
Go to kiroku.today/en, paste the URL, and click the archive button. Kiroku captures a screenshot, the full HTML, and generates an AI summary automatically.
Once saved, the AI summary highlights key details like salary range, location, required qualifications, and benefits — making it easy to compare with your actual employment terms later.
Bookmark or note down the Kiroku archive URL. You can share it with a lawyer or labor board if needed.
Using saved job postings as evidence
If your actual employment conditions differ significantly from what was advertised, a saved copy of the original posting becomes important evidence.
- Compare the archived posting against your employment contract or offer letter
- Present the saved posting to a labor attorney as supporting documentation
- File a complaint with your local labor board, referencing the original listing
- Use the archived version to demonstrate a pattern if the employer frequently posts misleading ads
In many jurisdictions, employers are legally required to honor the terms advertised in job postings. Significant discrepancies between advertised and actual conditions may constitute fraudulent misrepresentation.
Tips for comparing job listings
- Save all candidate listings as soon as you find them
- Use AI summaries to quickly compare salary, hours, and benefits across postings
- Check whether the same company changes listing conditions over time
- Share saved URLs with recruiters or career advisors for reference
- Before your interview, review the archived listing to ask informed questions

FAQ
Is it legal to save job postings?
Saving web pages for personal reference is generally permissible. However, republishing or redistributing saved content may raise copyright concerns.
Can I view a job posting after it has been removed?
If you saved it with Kiroku beforehand, yes — you can view the screenshot and HTML at any time. If you did not save it, the posting is typically not recoverable.
What is a bait-and-switch job posting?
A bait-and-switch job posting advertises conditions (salary, role, benefits) that differ significantly from the actual position. This practice is illegal or regulated in many jurisdictions.
Can I save job postings from my phone?
Yes. Open the job listing in your mobile browser, copy the URL, and paste it into kiroku.today. The process is the same as on desktop.
