@bigpictureclub: 6 ways to find real jobs and avoid ghost jobs 1 in 5 jobs posted online are ghost jobs. These are listings companies put up to look like they are hiring and growing, with no plan to fill the role right now. Here is how to find the real ones: 1. Boolean search in Google. Type site: then the platform, then the job title in quotes. Example: site:greenhouse.io "marketing manager" 2. Apply directly on the company's website whenever you can 3. Skip LinkedIn if you can. If the job is only on LinkedIn, filter by Date posted and choose Past 24 hours 4. For tech jobs, try Wellfound (formerly AngelList), Y Combinator's Work at a Startup, Jack & Jill and Welcome to the Jungle 5. If a recruiter posts the job on LinkedIn, find their email on the company site and send your resume directly. Ask if they have other open roles 6. If you know someone at the company, ask for a referral. It is the best route by far, and they often get a bonus if you are hired I am posting a carousel with Boolean search examples and more job sites. Save this one so you have the list.

Sources: Greenhouse found 18% to 22% of jobs on its platform were ghost jobs (Entrepreneur, January 2025). ResumeBuilder's 2024 survey of about 650 hiring managers found 4 in 10 companies had posted a fake job listing that year. #jobsearch #careeradvice #aitools #gethired

Recruiters and hiring managers, I need your honest opinion. I just completed my 4th interview for a Technical Customer Success role. The entire process has been fast-paced, with interviews scheduled close together, quick follow-ups, and consistent communication between stages. My final interview was a one-hour panel with a VP, CSM, and CS Team Lead. I delivered a mock customer kickoff presentation, received positive feedback on its structure, and had great discussions throughout. The VP asked me to switch languages during the last two slides to test my customer communication skills, which went well. The CSM said she had no further questions since she'd already covered everything in our previous interview. The Team Lead asked about my experience and AI projects, and everyone seemed engaged. At the end, they said they're still interviewing candidates and I'd hear back within 1–2 weeks. However, right before we left, the CSM asked about my 14-day notice period AGAIN, in front of the panel. They also said I could contact the recruiter directly if I needed anything. Given the fast hiring process, positive panel interaction, and repeated notice period question, would you consider these strong signs of an upcoming offer, or is this standard hiring behavior?

I recently emailed a CEO of a company and asked who was in change of recruiting for a particular role. He emailed me back and cc’d the recruiter to email. I got an interview but didn’t get hired. However, it motivated me to keep going.

I’m in the process of job hunting. I tweak my resume with AI, submit the application, and then immediately contact the person who posted the job with my resume and a note that I’m open to discussing other roles.

A lot of these ghost jobs do still have a live listing on greenhouse, etc. so not all of these are foolproof

One method I did is I would find at least one person in the company either an HR recruiter or the hiring manager (which most jobs will saying this position reports to blah blah blah) and cold email them saying why you’re the best fit for the role (you can look up a person’s company email on websites like Rocket Reach you get five chances a month) and email them with your resume after a week of applying and keep emailing once a week until it’s been a month since you applied
