This is a real issue and it's happening right now.

In According to recent employment studies, nearly 40-50% of online job postings are outdated, duplicated, misleading or a complete fabrication.

These false listings:
• Waste applicants' time and energy
• Inflate hiring metrics
• Erode trust between employers and job seekers
• Create unnecessary barriers in an already competitive job market

It's time for companies to stop playing games with people's livelihoods. Be honest with applicants.

Some of it is simply that the other apps don't get updates when the posting is removed. For example I'm interviewing for a role that is not longer listed on their website but its still circling around on job boards. Best thing to do is if a job looks interesting go to that company website to review and apply. Also if it's meant to be the right posting will find you.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed.

Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

Agency recruitment managers! How do y’all set goals for your department? Do you focus on outreach goals, applicant goals, purely hiring goals no matter the outreach numbers, conversion rates, etc? Asking because I manage two recruiters working with different clients and both work with different styles, so outreach messages for one might not make sense for the other. Any insight would be so helpful!

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
