Passage 3

[P1] The labour market is tightening – and it's getting harder to find a job. In the wake
of the Great Resignation, which drove more job vacancies than employers could fill, workers
often had their pick of open roles. Now, they have largely lost their leverage among layoffs and
budget cuts, and those open positions are increasingly rare.

[P2] Still, roles do exist – or at least appear to. Job boards like LinkedIn and Indeed
continue to advertise open positions, and workers are actively submitting applications. Yet
despite an influx of highly qualified candidates, plenty of desirable job adverts have languished
on digital platforms with an increasingly common label: “Posted 30+ days ago.”

[P3] While the listings may be old, job seekers generally still assume companies are
actively hiring for the roles. The truth is more complicated. Some of these are simply
not-yet-removed adverts for jobs that have been filled – but some were never meant to be
filled at all. These are 'ghost jobs', and they're becoming an increasingly common – and
problematic – obstacle for job seekers.

[P4] Versions of ghost jobs have long been part of the employment market. Job fairs,
for example, have a reputation for attracting businesses that set up booths simply to serve as
promotional tools or to collect resumes en masse without a clear role to fill. The issue has
gotten worse in the digital era, despite technology that should theoretically improve the
job-hunt process for all parties, especially as the sheer number of applicants for each role has
spiked across the globe the past several years while the economy has tightened.

[P5] Still, despite the worsening situation it can take, some candidates continue to send
out as many applications as possible, hoping for a response. Ghost jobs may provide
employers the opportunity to bolster their image and build a pool of resumes in the short
term, but the benefit may not last. If a potential employee feels burned by a company they
never heard back from, they may be scared away from applying to future opportunities at that
firm. Companies that post ghost jobs could, instead, end up haunted by them.

Adapted from “Job boards are still rife with 'ghost jobs'. What's the point?”
