Is Your Job Search Leading You to Ghost Listings

Job seekers encounter challenges as around 20% of job postings are non-existent opportunities, referred to as ghost jobs. Data from Greenhouse indicates that 18% to 22% of job listings are intended for positions companies do not plan to fill. In the second quarter of 2024, nearly 70% of Greenhouse's 7,500 clients posted at least one ghost job, particularly in construction, arts, food service, and legal sectors. About 15% of clients regularly posted ghost jobs, with half of these roles remaining unfilled. An analysis in October identified over 1.6 million ghost jobs on LinkedIn in the U.S., falsely portraying company growth and attracting new talent. A survey from Clarify Capital revealed that hiring managers sometimes utilize ghost job postings to encourage current employees. Job seekers report dissatisfaction, and it is advised to scrutinize posting dates and avoid listings open for over two months. The Society of Human Resource Management indicated that the average time to fill a job vacancy was 41 days in 2024. Candidates can verify job status by checking company websites or social media for more current information.
