According to recent research, companies are increasingly using fake online job openings to create an illusion of growth, motivate existing employees, and build a future candidate pool without any real intention of hiring. It is dubbed as “ghost posting”., involving over 1,000 hiring managers, revealed that beyond boosting artificial growth metrics and productivity, one-third of professionals admitted to using ghost posts to appease overworked employees.
