When your employer asks you to keep reposting jobs that you know your company isn't hiring for, how do you push back? I hate that I'm expected to keep posting these ghost job listings, but when the CEO and CFO are demanding it, what am I supposed to do?

You really can’t. Many companies are fishing and trying to stay relevant. In this case, I feel your sentiment as building rapport with recruits plays a major part in trust and their willingness to work with you. This was one part of the job that was difficult to swallow, but there are some things you can’t change.

It sounds like you're stuck. I know it sucks posting fake job listings, but if we don't do it, our employers are going to find someone who will. Sometimes, when you work in HR, you have to do, what you have to do.

You shut up and do it anyway. Assuming you want to keep your job, that is. Don't get me wrong, this would not sit right with me either - it's a complete waste of applicants' time and effort. But I see no real way for you to push back when it's coming from the top.

I don’t really know, I’d just stay quiet and carry on doing as I’m asked to.

What is the reason for companies to do this?

I agree. This is so unethical. It just goes to show how skewed the system is. HR is a noble profession, but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

(Also would really appreciate some likes on this post to get my 11 likes out of the way 😀)

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
