It's almost like there are millions of people who feel like the world is gaslighting them because they read headlines like we have in The Wall Street Journal that says we just had a great jobs report.
And it makes people think, well, if everything is so great and people are getting jobs, why do I feel so stuck?
Why am I not getting traction?
It is.
is as spooky as it sounds because people who are out there looking for jobs are very spooked by this.
It's being defined as the job is advertised.
People might be interviewed for it.
They might even have to do take-home assignments or personality tests.
But ultimately, the job is never filled.
So it looks like there's a job that's open, but then no one ever gets hired.
And that's fundamentally what a ghost job is.
And a lot of people, millions of people really have experienced this in the last couple of years alone.
Why do companies do this?
Why do they post jobs that inevitably don't get filled?
That is the number one question people have.
And they're very angry.
And there are actually a lot of reasons.
And some of them are perfectly rational.
Somebody leaves a company, you want to backfill their position, you talk to HR, you advertise it, and then suddenly someone higher than you says, wait a minute, are we sure we want to backfill that position?
As people leave this company, we'll just leave some of these jobs unfilled and save some money.
