How many of these job postings are even real?
I can't even get a reply from a recruiter! When possible I email the company directly or reach out via LinkedIn - but then I'm afraid of coming off too aggressive or stalker-ish.
How are we dealing with this?

And.... the fact that you (I) specifically ask how many roles are available for the position, they reply "one" I get to round 3 and they say in an email we chose another candidate. Yet! The posting REMAINS open and even gets reported. Hummmm?

I have no idea. The state of things has me in full spray and pray mode right now. I'm skimming descriptions and applying as long as there aren't any obvious scam or ghost job red flags. Volume > everything right?

There are a lot of ghosts jobs that get posted, so it's entirely possible you're seeing jobs that aren't real. Some companies post jobs they have no intention of filling just to make it look like they're doing well and constantly hiring. It wastes everyone's time, but there's really no effective way to stop it. Reaching out to companies isn't a bad idea, but like you say, you don't want to come off as too aggressive.

I get that as well. There are loads of positions I have seen that were posted again and again... I just don't think they are real. Companies may be posting just to see what kind of reaction they get. It is a terrible waste of time for the folks that are truly job seeking. I wish it would stop, but I don't think it is possible.

It feels like half the postings are ghost jobs. I try a short direct message to hiring managers instead. Not a hard sell, just a quick line saying why I am interested. If they reply, great. If not, I move on to protect my sanity.

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

Can I parallelly work in a subcontract of another start-up while working full-time for Capgemini?

Is this a breach of my agreements/compliances with Capgemini?

If I do so, will Capgemini ever get to know about that subcontract that I'm working for? If YES, how?

Should I avoid taking such risks?

What are all possible repercussions this step could have???
