More often than you think. I‘ve seen some shocking claims about ghost job listings on LinkedIn. It’s estimated almost one out of four listings are made without the intend to hire someone.
Of course you can be skeptical about these numbers so feel free to look up the term „ghost job listings“.
However it does echo what many applicants have been complaining about for years. They apply and get turned down immediately with company claiming they already filled the position or that applicants didn‘t meet some absolutely ridiculous criteria. Meanwhile the job listing stays up for months or even years. Doesn‘t take a genius to realize that listing was never serious and they only did it for research.
