My wife is currently looking for a job in Western Europe and 90% of open positios are 'fake' -- they keep previous positions open because showing that you are in a hiring freeze can impact the company's perception. Plus they want to keep collecting info so when they need to eventually hire they have a good source.
- jstx1 4y agoSpeaking of ghost job postings - https://careers.twitter.com/en/roles.html https://careers.twitter.com/en/roles.html Who knows, maybe the person who is supposed to update this got laid off.
- NickC25 4y agoI've seen this lately. Recently, I've done interviews with multiple companies over product-related roles. They all get back to me weeks later saying "we ended up hiring internally" or "we ended up eliminating the role completely". But if you look on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc... these companies are still keeping job postings up and adding new ones all the time. It seems kinda fraudulent IMO
- ozim 4y agoYeah having job postings is not free but I think too many people believe that "companies put job offer only when they have an opening". Ideally in a company one should have job ads all the time and if someone valuable drops CV only then reply - if you catch someone who is specialist and good burning couple thousands for an ad will still be worth it.
- mgkimsal 4y agoJust spoke to a company with a booth at a conference a few days ago. "We've got 1000 job openings right now! What are you looking for?" Yet... I don't actually think even if they found 1000 perfect fits tomorrow they'd all be hired.
