Ghost posting: Why are companies adding fake job listings?

With Canada’s unemployment rate having risen last month, people are heading to job sites and company pages to apply for jobs, but a new survey from ResumeBuilder.com is warning there’s a growing trend to watch out for: “ghost” postings. These posts are added by legitimate companies but are listed with no intention by the businesses to ever fill the positions. As Global’s Sean Previl reports, business experts say it’s a bad method to employ because when those companies that used fake listings start looking to hire for real, applicants may not want to bother applying at all.
