MODERATORS
The reasons are the worst:
Companies said they are posting fake jobs for a laundry list of reasons, including to deceive their own employees.
More than 60% of those surveyed said they posted fake jobs “to make employees believe their workload would be alleviated by new workers.”
Sixty-two percent of companies said another reason for the shady practice is to “have employees feel replaceable.”
Two-thirds of companies cited a desire to “appear the company is open to external talent” and 59% said it was an effort to “collect resumes and keep them on file for a later date.”
What’s even more concerning about the results: 85% of companies engaging in the practice said they interviewed candidates for the fake jobs."
Holy hell. Those are the things they're willing to admit? Then what the fuck do they still have in hiding?
In some jurisdictions, you can't hire foreign workers unless there are no local workers that meet the job requirements. Posting a fake position with the intent to deny all candidates is usually sufficient to demonstrate that an attempt was made to search for local talent. They can't admit it without getting into a lot of trouble, however.
But is it a fake position if you intend to fill it with a foreign worker?
