Resume Builder... 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.

While I suspect it would be nearly impossible to enforce, I would love to see the practice become illegal.

I dunno about anywhere other than Australia, but my extensive experience of job hunting suggests that 50+% of advertised professional roles are vaporware, being either resume harvesting exercises or 457 visa scams.

I find it morally acceptable to keelhaul seven in 10 hiring managers so it’s a wash I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As someone that was looking for work on Indeed 5 years ago, I 100% believe this. I wasted so much time going to interviews, and filling out redundant form, only to get ghosted, or find out that the place decided not to hire anyone to fill the position. It’s a game to them.

An HR manager recently advised me (very well-meaning friend) "Keep trying - It's a numbers game." And I somewhat unkindly snapped back "You mean like the lottery? Or like in an old gangster movie?" The truly relevant number is my age, which is 61. Seven out of 10 - or 70% - also relevant.

No shit. I’ve been saying this for years, glad to see evidence. HRs number 1 job is to make sure labor gets as little money as possible
