Should Businesses Keep Ghost Jobs?

The Psychophysiological Consequences Of The Reasons Employers Have Them

Have you ever Applied for a Job and then Never Heard Back?

Did you put in an hour of Work, completely Repetitive and Excruciating (A Rant for Another Time Perhaps), only for Nothing To Occur?

Perhaps you sent your Application, only to discover that the Job Opening is Not Open Anymore, and hasn’t been for some time?

Well, this is a Consequence of what is Known as “Ghost Jobs”.

These occur when Employers have Positions Listed online that they Either “Have” Already Filled, or Do Not Intend to Fill.

Now, there are a few Reasons why this happens.

But let’s look at the Psychophysiological Consequences behind those Reasons to see if they make sense or if they are Poor Leadership Decisions in the Long Term.

Reason #1: The Company Is Always Open To New People

Alright, this is a Tricky One.

Do you “Mean” it when you say that you are Always Open to New People?

If it is Genuine, then the Job Listing shouldn’t be a “Ghost Job”.
