How do you spot ghost job postings? I’ve seen the same Senior Wealth Manager role posted on LinkedIn every month for the last year. I’ve applied twice, met all the criteria, and never heard a peep. I’m starting to think these firms are just posting jobs to look like they’re growing or to collect resumes for a rainy day. Tired of wasting my time.

I've read articles about ghost jobs, and a common theme is that companies do it as a public relations exercise. It makes it look like they're doing great and always hiring. Perhaps some credulous analysts on Wall Street buy that, but it's an awful practice. The last thing someone looking for work needs are pointless exercises in wasting time.

Or "Confidential ". Not listing who you are applying to. It this legit. Job requirements dont give you the place either.
