A lot of the roles posted are mostly focused on signalling growth. Plus a lot of companies never really learned how to hire, they just followed what ever comes out of silicon valley without thinking about it.

To be honest, I think ghost offers should be criminalized; they are just playing with people’s lives.

Seems like fraud. If the intention is to mislead as to corporate health for some monetary reason how is it not wire fraud?
