In terms of successful interactions glassdoor and such do a much better job of keeping the positive feedback in place.
I also never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (or incompetence. That being said, I've seen more and more reports on nefarious reasons on why they do post jobs they never intend to fill out. I've seen job postings that have been open for years and people never hear back even with a rejection letter. Or even if they do get a rejection letter that says they've just hired somebody or closed the position, the job post is still up and reposted over and over.
- gregjor 2y agoThe stock market and need to maintain shareholder value and the illusion of growth — or at least relevance — creates the perverse incentives for posting jobs that won’t get filled. That has gone on for a long time. If companies cared about their reputation in the job market they would act differently. But even a company at the top of your list will get plenty of applicants when they get around to actually hiring. Right now they hold the cards. Disconnecting hiring managers from the screening process, usually turned over to HR or recruitment firms, adequately explains a lot of the reported ghosting. Incompetence probably explains the rest. Good luck.
