"Hiring trend"

>Not hiring.

There's a circle of hell for this kind of abuse of language, question is...

Is it above or below the one for posting a ghost job?

All fraud belongs in the eighth circle of hell, but I’m not sure who goes into the sixth ditch (hypocrites), eighth ditch (fraudulent advice) or tenth ditch (counterfeiters).

I'm so glad I'm retired now and don't work in the software industry any more. I hadn't heard of these ghost jobs but I wouldn't be surprised if they're everywhere in Silicon Valley.

The purpose being? Make-work for HR?

Rat's avatar

I can see multiple aims, including (but not limited to):

- make company look “growing”,

- acquiring information on the state of the market,

- and yes, make-work, too.
