>In a survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers last summer conducted by Clarify Capital, 27% said they had job ads up for more thyan four months. Of those who admitted they have postings that they weren't actively trying to fill, close to half said they did so to give the impression that the company was growing.

>Others said they kept these "ghost job" ads up in order to maintain a list of ready applicants in case an employee quits, or in case an "irresistible" candidate applies.

So employers really are wasting everyone's time for bullshit reasons. Another reason to hate this fake and gay empire of bullshit.
