    That was earlier today so I haven’t heard anything yet.

    I also read an article recently that companies are posting “ghost jobs” where they don’t plan to hire anyone at all.

      Yes, the “ghost jobs” are for two reasons:

      • Collect resumes in case finance approves more funding. In that case, they will be read.
      • Appear to be growing to stockholders and analysts. If you say you are growing and have no job openings, they will not believe you.

        Yeah I’ve experienced the first one. I accepted a position somewhere else long before, but by the time one of the companies had gotten back to me, it had been 7 months since I applied.

      Also the whole, “post a job with impossible requirements, back fill with cheap imported workers/my mate when the position is inevitably unfilled”.
