Job seekers put a lot of effort into applying to companies’ posted openings. And it turns out some of these positions don’t even exist.
Forty percent of companies posted a fake job listing this year, according to a recent survey from Resume Builder. Of that group, 79% currently have active fake job listings on their sites and other job search platforms. While these companies’ intention is to boost interest from talent, the fake recruiting trend could end up being a threat to retention goals instead.
