Not all job openings are actual jobs.

A significant number of managers shared that the openings are kept active but the jobs simply don't exist.

What is the rationale of putting up a job opening with no intention to hire?

We speak to Jack Kelly, Founder & CEO, WeCruitr to discuss more about the rationale and morale of companies doing so, and what job seekers do to avoid applying for ghost jobs.
