Companies are posting fake job listings, often with zero shame

Jun 26, 2024 - businessinsider.com
A recent survey by Resume Builder found that three in 10 companies have active fake job listings, with nearly 70% of hiring managers considering this practice "morally acceptable". The survey suggests that companies use this tactic to give the impression of growth and to signal to overworked employees that help is on the way. Meanwhile, the job market remains stagnant, with high-paying white-collar roles scarce and people not quitting as frequently. The hiring process has become a marathon, with multiple interview rounds, personality tests, and on-site assessment days drawn out across several months.

In other news, Citi Wealth's technology is reportedly in need of a $500 million overhaul, Nvidia investors are bracing for the company's annual shareholder meeting, and Charles Schwab warns that stocks are looking similar to the last bear-market crash in 2021. In the tech sector, Apple has denied reports of a partnership with Meta, and investors are showing interest in AI startups working with unstructured data and revolutionizing software development. In business, a former SAP employee has broken her NDA to speak out about a workplace sexual assault, and the rapid expansion of the renewable energy sector is leading to faster promotions for workers.
