28% of job postings sit open for over 90 days

Original: 28% of job postings on company career sites have been open over 90 days

A report from Unlisted Careers finds that 28% of job postings on company career sites have remained open for more than 90 days, renewing concerns about so-called ghost jobs. Commenters argue many listings are never meant to be filled, kept live to build talent pools or project growth, and say the practice wastes applicants' time and distorts the apparent state of the labour market.

Why now: Job seekers are frustrated by listings that appear to be fake or never filled, and the figure fuels debate about misleading hiring practices.
