Ghost Job Economy: Listings for 'Ghost Jobs' Are Rising--Here's How To Spot Them [View all]
Think that economy is strong because of all those "help wanted" signs and job ads being posted? Might want tor rethink it...
You spend hours polishing your CV, tailoring a cover letter and hitting submit. Then nothing. Weeks later, the same job appears online again.
For many job seekers, that experience is becoming increasingly common—and it may not be a coincidence.
Data suggests that so-called “ghost jobs” are increasingly widespread. Nearly 80 percent of professionals have applied to a role they believed was not real, with almost 60 percent saying it has happened more than once, according to a JobLeads poll.
Industry data shows that between 18 percent and 22 percent of roles posted on Greenhouse fall into this category at any given time.
