Why are they doing this?
This sounds stupid......
This is an evil practice that makes out-of-work people even worse.
I’ve seen on Reddit that companies are doing this. It’s a horrible practice.
Rule #1 when dealing with somebody. They are lying and have to prove otherwise.
Well we do have a fake president in the real commander in chief job.
You ask what’s the difference?
I just wish it was the other way around and joe was nonexistent inposition on us.
Fix 2020 somebody wake up, hello rinos!
My guess would be that they have high turnover in the advertised jobs in question. Instead of waiting until the next employee quits before looking for a replacement, look for a replacement before the next employee quits.
"While seven in 10 hiring managers say that they believe the practice is morally acceptable and beneficial for business, it complicates job seekers' searches for work, and can also erode their trust in companies."
I can't imagine why trust would erode....
At the university level I think it is an attempt to disguise sexual harassment or maybe it’s to pad the department’s budget.
Do they get more money if they say they’re going to hire a student, and then they interview, and then they say no one was qualified; we need to buy equipment instead?
I’ve said I had to forfeit a couple of work-study grants...there were a couple of jobs I called up about...there was maybe a month or so left in the school year. I thought if I got the job, maybe I could stay on for the summer at no subsidy.
Of course they were looking for someone with more experience. I’m reasonably sure the jobs were never filled.
They’ve been doing this for at least 10 years. For kicks, Hubby visits HR sites at companies he’s worked for — high tech, defense, science. It’s a joke. We think it’s to make investors, etc., think they’re hot commodities.
It is real problem. I recently had a recruiter from 1 cut me confide debt three out of four of her company is John postings were fake, just to collect resumes, And gage the market.
I ran into this too. After my first 40 applications, I started looking deeper into the company and tracking down current employees and their contacts to see if there was a common connection. Then I only applied to companies I knew were looking. People were using bots to dump resumes using keyword searches and it was difficult to get a resume read when there were 90+ applicants in less than 15 minutes.
I wouldnât want to work for a company that is dishonest as to post fake job.
They have done this for years to get around “tried to hire an American first” requirements for H1B hires.
Bkmrk
That is evil!
This is false-advertising and should be illegal. In this case, they’re advertising a job. It’s no different than selling a product that doesn’t exist. It’s still illegal if no money is changing hands. The company is getting something out of it, otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it.
IF the job listing makes unreasonable demands like asking for references and experience, checking resume claims, evaluating on merit rather than skin color, and not allowing you to sit in your jammies and claim you’re working from home, it’s obviously fake.
This has been true for years. Remember how businesses claimed they were begging for employees, but no one wanted to work? People looking for work knew it was a lie.
I heard another reason businesses post fake help wanted ads is to qualify for pandemic-era (Paycheck Protection Program?) loan forgiveness from the federal government.
They were doing this back in the 80’s. However back then it was more costly to the applicant. There were no online applications since it was pre internet, so you had the vost of stationary, printing, envelopes, and postage and in some cases college transcripts. The biggest offender of this was the Federal government. They would post job listings that were already filled before the job was posted.
