#Jobs #JobAds #GhostJobs: "Mr. Kelly, who has decades of experience as a technical and marketing writer, estimates that when he was job hunting in late 2021, about 20% of listings that interested him were posted and reposted without anyone evidently being hired. Since his layoff from a startup in August, he says he has noticed that most jobs that catch his eye have been up for months.

“I first thought of it as an anomaly, and now I see it as a trend,” he says.
(...)
To avoid ghost ads, Scott Dobroski, vice president of communications at jobs site Indeed, recommends looking for detailed job descriptions. More specifics, such as schedules or a clear list of responsibilities, might indicate that an employer is serious, he says. He also advises checking the timestamp on ads to ensure they were posted recently.

Every month, Indeed removes millions of job postings that don’t meet its standards from the website, including inactive job postings, he says."

A newspaper I know is presently using this clip art for a “We’re hiring” graphic.

Feels weird and sad.

It’s for a senior journalist who “writes, reports, shoots, edits and feeds content for all print and digital platforms … provide updates to social media platforms … ”

Further, the ad says “you will cover our court and crime beats, as well as public safety related issues.”

But they are good on the marketing photos.
