As many as 4 in 10 companies say they have posted a job listing this year that doesn't exist, while 3 in 10 say they're currently advertising for a role that isn't real, according to a May survey of over 600 hiring managers from the career site Resume Builder. Tim Paradis, future-of-work correspondent for Business Insider, joins CBS News to explain why some companies are doing this, and how you can spot the fake postings.

Data mining. They take that data and sell it.

So how to spot them: 1.if they've been posted for too long and 2) if it's not listed on the company website. Cool.

"Make employees feel replaceable" what did workers ever do so bad to make these companies treat us like this. This is genuinely amoral behavior. This can't keep going on like this

This is disgusting.
@purplesprigs 21日前

Just as bad: Many actual positions are created for the sole purpose of giving the job to a specific person (friend, neighbor, etc.). When you do get an actual interview for a real job, it is highly likely that you have ZERO chance of getting the job. The companies just require hiring managers to interview 3 candidates.

Those companies should be sued by job seekers.

This is false advertisement. It is illegal to mislead people like this.
@therowgawd 21日前

this is why u should have zero loyalty to a company you don’t own. It’s never personal. Just business
