I pretty much hate all of them due to the low quality and puffery filled content on them. LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Blind seem to be better than others, but not by much. HN who is hiring seems to have less BS, but there are a lower number of listings and almost no options in my geographic area. Not to mention it seems HN posting are geared to higher performers (I'm a low performer).
- sebestindragos 3y agoI feel line linkedin is also full of fake job listings. At least I’ve seen ones that are there since forever
- giantg2 3y agoPretty much all of them have those "evergreen" listing by the bigger companies. I'm not sure how it's not fraud to advertise a job that isn't actually vacant at the time. I guess there's no incentive to stop it since it would make the jobs numbers for the economy look like worse.

- JohnFen 3y agoI think that it's not legally fraud (in the US) because an important component of fraud is that the lie is used to steal something of value from the victims. Advertising a job that doesn't exist doesn't do this unless you're charging an application fee or using the data collected from applicants for a purpose other than what was represented. The practice is lying, though, and I'll join in the chorus of voices saying that it's terrible behavior.
- giantg2 3y agoFalse advertising is considered a type of fraud because you used false facts to extract, or try to extract, value from someone. If there was no job open, you just cost someone paper, ink, transportation, and time. It's a stetch, but in my book it fits.
