The Power of Communication in Candidate Experience: A Simple Hack
We often look towards cutting-edge tech and AI solutions in the fast-paced recruiting world. But what if there's a simple yet impactful way to improve your candidate experience right now?

The Deceptive Rise of "Ghost Jobs": How Fake Job Listings are Hurting the Market
Employers creating fake job postings, also called "ghost jobs," are a growing concern in today's job market. This tactic not only wastes job seekers' time but also erodes trust between candidates and companies.

30% of companies currently have active fake job postings on their platforms.
Why the Rise in Fake Jobs?
The survey sheds light on the reasons behind this unethical practice:
Workload Concerns: Some hiring managers cite alleviating workload as a reason for posting fake jobs, hoping to avoid a surge of applications.
Signaling Growth: Others use fake postings to project an image of company expansion or to gather candidate information for future openings.
Read here on what your fellow recruiters are doing with their fake job posts, and whether or not you need to join them.
