Ghost Posts

So, here's a piece in The Guardian that explains a lot: 

Ghost jobs: why do 40% of companies advertise positions that don’t exist?

"A survey has revealed that the practice is widespread, with many companies going as far as fake-interviewing too"


This syncs up with a lot of anecdotal accounts but places it within a context and rationale:

Thoroughly reprehensible, but no solution presents itself, at least in the short term.
