The Ghost Job Trap Hiring Managers Use

Most job postings are not real. In this episode, we break down the 'ghost job' phenomenon where companies post roles to gather resumes, test algorithms, or appear active without intending to hire. We look at data from recent labor market reports showing how many open listings remain unfilled for months. Lucas and Luna discuss how to spot these dead-end applications, why you should never apply to a role that has been posted longer than sixty days, and the specific signal in a job description that indicates a hiring freeze disguised as an expansion. If today was actually useful to you, the way these stay ad-free is listener support — buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo.
