You see a job description, apply because you meet (or exceed) all 127 requirements, but they never call you. Then you see the same post again and again! Should this be illegal? What are your thoughts? Have you experienced this? What advice do you have for those of us who are #opentowork Insights Career Network Article from this week's The Epoch Times with contributions from Clarify Capital and Lock Search Group
43%. Wow. Ghost postings are a recurrent theme in the ICN biweekly meetups, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. We were just talking about it today: some companies seem to be interviewing to inform future options, which suggests an, "I know we can't hire now, but I want to know some good people I can call in November when we get going for Q1" approach.
A couple of thoughts including why spend the time and effort to post a fake job… the audience loses, the platform becomes an alternative, etc. I got to be missing something
This seems to be happening in Europe as well. I see the same job postings appearing over and over again on LinkedIn. I never hear back when I apply.
Here the other question… how do they get to the number..?
Reasons why I no longer work in corporate America. Pave your own way and rely on no one.
this is scary Ana A. Galindo, MSMR 😬
Same goes for requesting proposals from consultants. If they have a website with what you want, don't waste their time with meetings and asking what's already known. They have a blog and podcasts and testimonials and thorough linkedin profile. Just buy. They've done all that nonpaid to help you. You've already gained value from their generous thought leadership. Be modern and just buy rather than tie them up with bureaucracy that's soul crushing and disrespectful of their precious time.
It is terrible and disrespectful. Hard to verify unfortunatelly.. By the way, if it helps, we are monitoring the most effective job search techniques from 5,000 new hires here: jobmarketwatch.com. I hope it can help you land a better job!
One bit of advise: Don't use the 0pent0w0rk hashtag. Stay positive, good luck to you, I know it's incredibly tough. Thanks for sharing this.

2wI dont know how to vet a job posting as real or fake but I have experienced multiple 3rd party recruiters (search firms) reaching out for the same job that's already posted by the company talent acquisition team. I had someone from the company reach out, then a 3rd party recruiter, then another 3rd party for the same exact job. I see multiple postings with slightly varying job titles but the same description and different job posters.
