What happened: Some companies are posting job vacancies that have already been filled or may never have existed. This practice, known as 'ghost jobs', has drawn attention in the business sector.
Why it matters:
- Job seekers may waste time and resources applying for non-existent roles.
- It can distort the true state of the labour market and hiring trends.
MNN Take: Advertising 'ghost jobs' can mislead candidates and complicate employment data accuracy, highlighting a need for clearer recruitment practices.
