another thing i noticed is that every job posting will have a slew of fake applicants apply to it as to discourage people from applying. had a friend who wanted to apply for a job, however it said that 100 people or so already applied on indeed. i told her to apply anyways. she got a call that day from the manager and when she asked them how many other applicants there were, they told her 3. manager even confirmed that most applications they were getting were blatantly fake.
- noitsnot 6y agoWhat is the end game of someone flooding in fake resumes?
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoIf you are working with a service that promises you applicants for that hard-to-fill position, well, the end game is money and a promise delivered. They can't really help the quality of applicants, after all, since they don't discriminate and aren't actually doing the hiring.

- thrownaway954 6y agoright now alot of people are looking for work. the less people that apply, the better your chances are of getting the job. so if you see that only 3 people have applied, then you apply and flood indeed so it shows over 100 people applied, chances are noone else will apply. your odds of getting the job have gone up.
- behringer 6y agoI'm guess the "fake" resumes are just people with really, really bad resumes. Which is easy to do on linkedin (I don't know about indeed), because you just click one button to submit whatever you've chosen to fill out.
