And a lot of companies do that, especially when there's questions about the economy, as there have been for the last year or two, especially in 2024 when the political situation was very much in flux.
A lot of companies just said, we're going into kind of frozen mode till we figure out what's going on here, who's going to win, because whoever took the White House would radically change tariffs and all these other things.
So that's actually a very reasonable, logical reason something might be posted and not filled, but it still doesn't feel good if you're the person who applied and never heard back.
There are some not so reasonable, some people would say more nefarious reasons.
things that companies do too.
They might decide, well, we don't really know if we want to fill this job, but let's just throw a posting out there and fish for somebody.
Maybe there's a perfect candidate that we can't live without, but there might be 800 people applying and they're taking a look and saying, eh, we're not really committed to filling this role.
That happens too.
Then you have things like these third-party staffing agencies that will advertise jobs, sometimes with a company name on it, sometimes with a label that says confidential.
implying it might be some huge brand where you might want to work.
And turns out there is no job.
They're just trying to collect a pool of applicants so they can go to a company and pitch themselves and say, look at this great talent pool we could bring you and you could pick from.
What are some signs that people can look for to identify a ghost job?
I wish I could tell you, like, here's the one thing you need to do.
There is no one thing that's perfectly going to answer this for somebody.
But there are a few things to look out for.
One, if you see a job posting on someplace like Indeed or LinkedIn, go back to that employer's website and see if it's listed on their own website.
Because if it's not, that is the biggest hallmark that it might be a scam, might be fake.
If it is listed on their website, also look at the date.
Most job postings say posted three days ago or posted more than 30 days ago.
