This is near the top of the list of the stupidest ideas I’ve ever heard.
If a talented person applies to your fake job and you ghost them or string them along, they are not going to apply again when you might have needed them.
After all you already told them that you think they suck.
Honestly, this should be actually illegal. It's a fraudulent job posting designed to waste my limited time, but it's okay for these companies to do shit like this because of uh, reasons?
This should be illegal. Part of getting unemployment or other benefits is showing that you've applied for jobs within a certain timeframe. So this practice of posting fake jobs is actually defrauding the government unemployment funds.
It's weird that there are basically no protections for job seekers. There are so many scams, abuses, and dangers that are so well documented. There is a very messed up power dynamic and a lot of vulnerability.
Some places are starting to require job postings to include pay ranges, bit that's hardly enough.
That's not how this works, though.
These "jobs" are just a way to acquire talent. A larger company can almost always need a few more "good workers". So if a really good candidate comes along, they'll snatch that person, if the candidate is just okayish, they tell them someone else got the job.
That makes sense, but that is not what the article is about.
Of course it is. It's a job that doesn't really exists, but gets advertised.
This seems more like you disagree with the author’s research of his article.
I disagree with the implication and outrage about it.
It seems like ragebait, just like "gen Z doesn't want to work" crap.
So we agree that it is one of the stupidest ideas ever
