Ghost hiring is the latest trick in the corporate world, and it’s deeply frustrating for jobseekers.
You go through the application process, submit your resume and then nothing. That’s par for the course in recruitment.
But sometimes the jobs aren’t real.
They want to have resumes ready for when the time comes to actually hire – if at all.
Some companies want to show their investors they’re expanding, even if they have no real intention of hiring.
Companies sometimes interview candidates from competitors just to gather insights.
Sometimes positions are posted externally to meet legal or company requirements, but there’s already an internal candidate selected for the role. A norm in Adelaide.
The recruitment system is broken.
