Most likely, they're ghost jobs, meant to only make the company look good to investors and to trick current employees into thinking they'll get help. It's a shameful practice, and really should be made illegal in my opinion.

Ghosting jobs- close to insane - isnt it?

It boggles my mind why a company would knowingly do something that just makes them look bad. But here we are.

There are also the questions of possibly information mining and resale; and jobs that are advertised solely to satisfy DÍA and NZIS requirements that no local applicants were suitable opening the door to immigrants who not only will work for minimum wage but also pay the associated immigration agency $50000 plus for a work visa.

Here's a few possibilities
- Seeking free consulting work from applicants
- Already has an internal candidate but policies and procedures requires them to check off boxes before hiring him
- Desires to add you to their donor database for donations
- Seeks your three references info to solicit for business prospects
- Scammers who are data harvesting to try to steal identities
- There is an actual job, but the hiring manager suffers from Goldilocks syndrome. Dating apps leads employers to think a better candidate is just one swipe away and if they keep looking, the unicorn will appear.

Ghost Jobs are not a thing. 🙄

I say this as corporate recruiter for a Fortune 100 company. We do not post jobs that we do not intend to fill. When you see a role posted again and again it is likely a new hire for the same role, or we’ve unposted at the direction of the business line while they work through financials.

It’s definitely being done. Obviously not by all companies but definitely a lot. Some have admitted it. It’s to create the illusion that there are more jobs than there are. It’s pretty easy to figure out why.

Probably have someone internal in mind but have to be 'seen' to also be advertising externally so as to no show biast

Nobody cares about professionalism in the workplace anymore. Professionalism or lack thereof is becoming a thing of the past now because companies nowadays are refusing to change their policies. Company policies nowadays are old, outdated and antiquated because they don't align with today's job market. The job market of today is not the same as it was 10, 20, 30+ years ago because everything is totally different now. The technology is different and the hiring process is different now as well. Companies, staffing agencies, recruiters and hiring managers are so out of touch with reality they don't understand nor do they even care about the job seekers anymore

There’s an episode on the lonely desk podcast about this and it’s insane. It talks about the percentage of companies that do this, and it’s a lot, and all the reasons why.

Sometimes companies want to look like they need more help because they are doing well.

There is a well known retail chain that clised all of its stores. The store local to me still had "now hiring" signs out even though it was publicly announced that location was closing.

Don't quite understand the logic in that but what do I know. LOL

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
