MODERATORS
 

Resume Builder, which offers résumé templates, surveyed nearly 650 hiring managers in May and found nearly seven in 10 said it was "morally acceptable" to post fake jobs. Hiring managers credited the move with increasing revenue, morale, and how much workers get done.

Here's the weird part though-

About seven in 10 of the fake jobs were on a company website or LinkedIn, according to the survey. And, yet, despite all the shenanigans, many fake listings often lead to real interviews — and even employment.

Four in 10 hiring managers said they always contacted workers who applied for made-up jobs. Forty-five percent said they sometimes contacted those job seekers. Among companies that contacted applicants, 85% report interviewing the person.

"A lot of them are getting contacted and interviewed at some point, so it's not necessarily a black box," Haller said.

Does that part make sense to anyone?

That makes sense, but that is not what the article is about.

Of course it is. It's a job that doesn't really exists, but gets advertised.

This seems more like you disagree with the author’s research of his article.

I disagree with the implication and outrage about it.

It seems like ragebait, just like "gen Z doesn't want to work" crap.

So we agree that it is one of the stupidest ideas ever
