This video examines the phenomenon of 'ghost jobs'—fake or inactive job postings that companies leave online without intending to hire.
Ghost jobs, which are job listings companies keep active on job boards even when they have no intention to fill the position, are causing widespread frustration and wasting the time of job seekers. Experts and affected candidates explain that companies often post these listings to create talent pools for the future or to falsely signal company growth. According to a study by Clarify Capital, a significant portion of job postings remain online for over 30 days, leaving qualified candidates like the interviewees in the video searching for positions that do not truly exist.
