    They didn't cover all the reasons for the fake jobs:
    - Too lazy to take down a job that is no longer available.
    - Find out how easy it is to replace an employee.
    - Meet a legal requirement to advertise a job before hiring a visa holder they actually want for cheap.
    - To look like the company is growning to potential investors.
    - Hoping for a candidate that is perfect, cheap and will replace multiple employees but will never exist in reality.
    - To see if they are over or underpaying current employees.
    - To placate current employees that they are trying to find someone to help with workload.
    - Looking for free work by giving applicants "test work" required with job application.
    .... feel free to add to this post.

That being said a lot of the scammers are easy to tell based on the job posting. If they say W-2 or a contract length it's probably a scam. And if your resume is being sold it's by individual recruiters. Not the company, the company can get sued into oblivion for doing that.

    Personally, many of those employers are holding out for their "perfect candidate". Many employers already have no issue making small teams perform 2-3 times the work they normally would just to save money. So it wouldn't be a stretch for employers to think "our employees can handle the extra work load until we find someone". Can't complain about no workers and be overly picky at the same time.

    Jobs also LIE about starting pay and locations on these job postings. I applied to Dunkin Donuts about 2 months ago because the post said the starting pay was $13+. I wasted my time going to this interview just to be told the starting pay is only $10. And I was shocked to even get the interview in the first place since I've literally applied to HUNDREDS of jobs and have only gotten maybe 5 responses. Another job posting for Jersey Mikes subs was posted as a specific location near my house, but then when you get into the application they ask "are you willing to relocate to (insert ghetto zipcode here)" and if you say no you're automatically not selected. The one interview I actually got for a warehouse/factory job required you to work 60 hours per week.

    This is absolutely nothing new. Companies have been posting help wanted/job announcements for jobs there really aren't openings for, for as long as I can remember. There are a bunch of reasons why they do this. What's unfair is to people looking for jobs is they are wasting valuable time applying for jobs that they're not currently hiring for. Worse yet, companies even conduct job interviews of job applicants for jobs they're not hiring for. This wastes time and money of the applicants going to these interviews, and gives them false hopes that they really have a chance for these good jobs. Then there's the need to post a "job opening" when it's actually an internal promotional announcement, with the employer basically already knowing who's getting the job. This leaves jobs seekers wondering what's going on. They apply for 1,000 jobs with no success at the same time they hear about record low unemployment.

    Just got laid off from a high demand sector in an apparent “worker shortage”. I won’t be updating my resume, or acknowledging that a resume, knowledge, work ethic, or experience has any value in the modern workplace. Unsure of what I will be doing, but I (as well as millions of other Americans) are well aware automation is around the corner, and my time is better spent elsewhere ✌️

    Indeed has a lot of these companies where you apply for a job and the company never gets back to you until weeks later when Indeed tells you that you weren’t selected. But then the next day, the same job posting from the same company is still there.

    Two words explain what is going on; "Under Fill". I've seen it first hand in state govt service. Neat little trick to move around money and funding to give executive management and management pay raises and fund fake jobs for friends and mistresses. I've seen it done. Meanwhile those badly needed nursing positions and security guard FTEs never get filled and they say there is a shortage or no one wants to work there.

      Then it is time to change your cv. I would start by removing some of the education, job posting specific. Experiment, you have nothing to lose. Sometimes when people have so much schooling they think you will have trouble working at a corporation. Or not fitting into the corporate world is why you have so many degrees. Bottom line if what you are saying is true. You need to make some changes.

      @@voiceofraisin241 it is very true. I have two decades of experience, in corporate environment too, and that is with a patent, publications, international business experience, and over 20 different products developed. Oh and a writing award. Also a member of international MBA honor society, Beta Gamma Sigma. I am told by recruiters I am overqualified, which basically means I am too good at my job. Also, some say it is because they are worried I might get something better. It is like that beautiful woman who cannot get married because guys are worried she might be stolen by another more deserving/wealthier and more handsome man. I guess they rather hire people that do not deliver for the company instead. Which explains the state of affairs. Maybe I should pull a reverse George Santos.

    They missed the biggest one. And probably the worst one, outside of the fraud listings.
    Many companies internal rules stress to hire for certain roles, a minimum number of candidates must be considered. For an internal candidate to fill a role, they must still interview 3 to somtimes 7 applicants. Those other people have to spend time & energy in the interview process with little or no chance at the position. Worse if they have to physically interview, since then you pay for parking, gas, etc.
    Sure it's useful as practice. Not an outright negative. But they should be clear they have an internal hire choice already- then you can decide if you want to go through the process anyway.
    Many jobs listed are listed to check boxes when they already have their choice.

He also doesn't like cologne or perfume, so if someone shows to the interview and they are wearing a fragrance, he will not hire them.

    So, not only do I have to try and out smart the algorithms of ATS for job postings, pray and hope HR processes run smoothly, but they are either not hiring immediately or at all? This should be illegal!! Meanwhile, placated, and over worked employees are also dying inside. Time to start openly discussing position openings like we do wages.
    Literally killing me financially. It's depressing.

      Yes, the ATS is really something. I'm in my 40s when I decided to career change. I went back to college to get a bachelors and masters degree. I updated my resume that hadn't been updated in 10 or 15 years. Then found out about ATS and age discrimination, so I reworked my entire resume removing dates from degrees earned and removing jobs older than 15 years. It sure is a different world than I was used to when it comes to apply for jobs.

    Finally started working in early March 2020, but you know what happened.. In a matter of 2 weeks COVID made me to stay at home, and it wouldn't be until 2 months later I'd return.
