"81% of recruiters admitted to posting ads for positions that were fake or already filled in order to commit psychological warfare:

25% said #ghostJobs helped companies gauge how replaceable their employees were...Another damning 2024 report said that 62% posted them specifically to make their employees feel replaceable. They also made ads to “trick overworked employees” into believing that more people would be brought on to alleviate their overwhelming workload." #tech

Client Challenge

Someone built this after 8 months of applying to ghost jobs. Pitchly Hire is a job directory where every listing is reviewed by a human and expires automatically after 30 days. No algorithm. No promoted spots. Click apply and you go straight to the employer, we never touch your application.
We publish what we checked and what we couldn't verify for every listing.
27 jobs live across 4 countries. New ones added regularly.

🚀✨ Oh, the horror of "ghost jobs"—positions as real as unicorns, haunting job boards and tormenting desperate applicants. Should we ban them, or just laugh at the idea of legislating imaginary positions? 👻💼

Should more be done to tackle 'ghost jobs'?

Companies are advertising vacancies that have already been filled or might not have ever existed.

Companies are advertising vacancies that have already been filled or might not have ever existed.

Support the effort to end ghost jobs:

"Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act (TJAAA) is landmark legislation designed to eliminate fake job ads, protect job seekers’ privacy, and restore integrity to the hiring process. It ensures that every public job posting is a genuine opportunity—funded, timely, and traceable—while holding employers, recruiters, and platforms accountable for deceptive practices."

Mal eine Frage an die Community: Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit #GhostJobs gemacht, also mit Stellenausschreibungen hinter denen gar keine Stelle steht?

Gerne Repost.

Apparently #ghostjobs are a thing now. Companies post jobs just to improve company perception, push stock valuations up, and/or pressure current employees to perform more as they are easily replaceable.
