How Zeltru works
Simple. Factual. No ratings inflation.
Search any company
Look up a tracked company to see how long its postings actually stay open.
Share your experience
Report your application in 5 minutes. Fixed answers — no free-text bias.
Patterns become public
Once a company has enough reports, no-response rates and stage breakdowns publish automatically. Below that, we show nothing.
Company pages also break no-response rates down by stage — application, screen, interview, final round — but only once a company reaches five settled reports. None have yet. Be the first to report →
Built to be fair
Zeltru surfaces what applicants report. We set a high bar for what counts as no-response — and we enforce it in the math.
Rejections ≠ no response
If a company sent a no, that doesn't count against them. Only total silence — zero response — counts.
Minimums enforced
No stats appear until a company has 5 or more settled reports. Small samples mislead.
14-day window
We wait 14 days after last contact before marking it no-response, giving companies a fair chance to respond.
