Ghost Jobs: The Phantom Positions Plaguing Job Seekers
Employment levels may be high in the US, but the labor market is experiencing a rise in 'ghost jobs' - unfilled positions that may not even exist. Companies leave these fake job postings up for various reasons, from farming future applicants to creating the illusion of growth. Job seekers end up wasting time applying for non-existent roles, sometimes falling victim to scams requesting money for non-existing jobs. Legislation in Ontario aims to curb these practices by enforcing transparency and requiring companies to inform candidates post-interview.
