When you’re spending hours tweaking your resume, writing a cover letter, filling out an online application, and checking your email, it can be extremely frustrating to find out a particular job never existed. In fact, it was a fake. Do companies do this just to torture you, or is there a legitimate reason?

Typically, when companies post a fake job opening, they’re trying to:

  • Create a pipeline of talent for positions the company often hires for. They may not have an immediate need for a particular skill set, but will likely in the near future.
  • Create a pipeline of talent for positions with high turnover.
  • Measure the current talent pool and see how in-demand a job or position is.
  • Assess candidate salary requirements for certain types of positions they know will be opening up soon at their company.
  • Fulfill a contract obligation. When in contract with a job board, some companies are required to have a minimum number of jobs posted each week. So they create fake ads to fulfill that requirement.

That being said, not all companies or staffing firms follow this practice of posting fake job listings. Staffers is one of them. We believe in developing relationships with our candidates so we can learn about their skills, background and experience – all so we can match them with terrific opportunities. Posting fake job ads is a good way to undercut those efforts.

In fact, when you apply to a position through Staffers, we guarantee that the job is not fake. If you are a qualified candidate, you will be interviewed and provided full details of the role, including the name of the company to which you applied. When interviewing for a specific job, we will also tell you whether or not we plan to submit your information to the client company. If we’re not going to submit your resume, we’ll also let you know why.

When you work with Staffers, you always know where you stand. All of our job openings are active and completely real. And because we hold ourselves to the highest standards, we’re able to attract top talent that others can’t.
