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."
"Nobody wants to work anymore" say the companies that deceive people into thinking they might get a job with postings for positions that don't exist.
Yeah, if I applied to a job and then they tried to contact me a year later I'd turn them down just based on the principle.
If you reverse it and imagine a prospective hire putting off an interview for months or a year and then calling in expecting to still take the interview it shows how ridiculous it is.
They can do it because hold all the cards. Honestly, if our government actually wanted to protect us, they would make this illegal.
