Nearly 40% of companies post fake "ghost jobs" in cloud computing, with no intention to hire. These deceptive listings serve multiple purposes: building talent pools, testing market rates, appearing to grow, and pressuring current employees. One in five online job postings are either fake or never filled, particularly affecting specialized tech roles.

For job seekers, warning signs include vague descriptions, prolonged posting periods, and lack of response to applications.
