That's not a real job opening: Some companies are posting 'ghost jobs' but don't actually plan to hire you — or anyone

matters less for the job search-and-matching process than factors like candidate skills and quality and the macroeconomic environment.

When employers first started grumbling about a labor shortage, Erica Groshen, a senior economics advisor at the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations and former commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was a little suspicious of the high number of job openings. But as she watched wages rise and job switching soar, she was sold on the phenomenon of real hiring.

"You can apply to so many more jobs, which then means that companies have to sort through so many applications — many more than they ever used to before — which means that they employ algorithms to do this sorting," Groshen said."Those algorithms are going to be fairly crude."
