A vexing phenomenon is plaguing the labor market. “Ghost jobs” refer to listings by employers that either aren’t real or have already been filled but never lead to an actual hire. This is frustrating not only to job seekers but also to the Federal Reserve, which is trying to steer the economy to a stable place.
People should be aware of how to distinguish a ghost job posting from a real job posting so they can avoid the disappointment and anticipation of hearing back from a job that never existed.
The warning signs you applied for a ‘ghost job’:
- Job opening was posted over 30 days ago
- There is no time stamp on the original post
- Re-posted role
- A vague job description that doesn’t include salary or location
- Broad salary range
