What is a Ghost Job & Why Do Companies Post Them?

1

Talent Pooling

Companies keep generic postings up year-round to build a database of passive applicants without an active opening or budget.

2

Signaling Growth

Startups and public firms leave openings listed to project financial health and aggressive expansion to investors and competitors.

3

Pacifying Overworked Teams

Management posts listings to placate burnt-out employees by claiming "help is on the way," even when hiring has been unofficially frozen.
