Welcome to Banking & Finance's Private Community

Have been seeing this a lot lately on LinkedIn. Most of the posts I see are ghost posts. Know that since I know that for the company I work for and a few others like JPM, DB, Citi etc don't hire in Q4 due to budget freeze. They just build the database and keep candidates identified. (Specially for ops, finance & strategy roles)
But it is unfair on their part and wrong since they have no intention to hire, to be fair to them they have financial books to close, finalise ratings, bonus and increment calculations etc. 
How could this problem for orgs and candidates be solved ? Any innovative and equitable solution ?

I have seen multiple companies posting vacancy on LinkedIn and Naukri but I see no post of any candidate getting hired or sharing onboarding. 

Are they posting this to avoid panic in open market ?
Especially in the field of Data. 

Thoughts ?

Are companies really posting dummy roles with no actual hiring ?

Dummy Jobs ?!!

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Corporate catfishing? More companies are posting realistic job listings that don't exist. 

Companies doing this are trying to trick employees into thinking the company is growing and that they are hiring more workers to alleviate their workload. This is not only manipulative, but immoral. 

If you want to increase productivity and alleviate stress in your office, start by showing appreciation for your employees and encouraging them.

Share some companies you might know that have been doing this.

That job you applied for, might not exist !!

I am seeing lots of jobs post on LinkedIn from various companies and when u apply to them there is no call back or any update from them. I am now like confused if those post are even true or not? Anyone face/observe this

Has anyone observed this ?

Looking for recommendations where HR's reply is faster/processing of application is faster.

What platforms are you using to apply for jobs?

After getting laid off, I have been talking to multiple HRs at different companies but the responses from them have been brutally slow. Are they trying to take advantage of my desperation or is there a hiring slowdown in India (irrespective of the numerous job openings I see everywhere)

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have been seeing their different types of PM roles job opening for last 1 year now. Are they really not able to close these roles. Each posting has almost 100+ application and still they are not able to close these roles.

Every month of 2 these roles gets reopened and still no body is getting hired.

I have heard somewhere that companies are circling job postings in order to increase LinkedIN followers, is that the case here? 

Any thoughts?

Is Hackerrank bluffing?

I am new to the work force, 1.5 YOE. I want to understand the logic behind HR’s ghosting their candidates.

On a serious note: Why do HR’s ghost candidates despite several rounds of interview and follow-ups?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello guys; I have been actively applying to job/internship openings on LinkedIn (It might have reached 50+ by now) but what I get is either they ghost me, or reject me.

There's only 1 or 2 companies where I actually received a response but even they ghosted me after submitting practice assignment. Also; the rejection mail of each company is the same so I am starting to think that most of the jobs are automated by bots or something.


Can anyone suggest an active job search platform where employers post the role with the intention to hire employees, even look through the candidate's resume and respond instead of ghosting?

How common is it for recruiters to ghost you after multiple rounds of interviews and assessments (over months) by blocking your email so you can't even send follow up emails?

The way I see it - they don't lose much since they have thousands to choose from an applicant pool, but it certainly undermines the effort made my candidates to a huge degree. 

Or is that common courtesy, acknowledgement and in general being decent human seem rathee utopian concepts in this day and age?

Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Recruiters ghosting/blocking you - the new norm

This is a question to the onebanc employees, are you guys retarded or what?

So, They have a job posting on LinkedIn for a particular role which is vacant from 5 freaking months ( and it's just not there for 5 months, they remove it and repost every 3-5 days). for 2 months I tried applying direct and then I connected with the peeps working there and asked for referrals to which all of them replied "apply directly to the job posting" ok understandable but then when I tried connecting with the job poster and the talent acquisition people they also have the same reply "apply directly", I know am not entitled but now when you have seen the message, just forward it to the manager, and end this with a rejection.

This is just a rant, i know companies don't owe anyone and vice versa.

Are peeps working in onebanc retarded?

LinkedIn laid off 668 employees

ecently, have seen 5+ posts on LinkedIn, about Google hiring for different products like gen ai, security and education. 

In job portal, they haven't mentioned about MBA or any specific requirement apart from yoe. Wanted to know, what does Google wants in a PM, and what is the salary range for a PM there, if they need a 4 year experienced product manager?


Also, how are these criterias soft or quite rigid?

Google is hiring for Product Managers

Ghosting by HR is becoming increasingly common. This is not only for junior or middle level roles but also senior level. Talk to a prospective candidate and go to sleep. One more round and then go missing again. Repeat the process till the person starts to question the culture. And ya, when you wake up, expect the candidate to leave everything and respond..else, you will go ahead and open the position. 

Anyone else facing this in startups?

Software architect

I am seeing a lot of layoff related posts everywhere from news articles to LinkedIn.. Is the Job market really that bad now? Or just the media is projecting that way? 

If it's really bad, which department you think is the most affected? How's layoffs specifically in India? Or is it layoffs in US but more hiring in India due to cost cutting? 

Are layoffs in technology/engineering dept as in for developers or some other departments? Your thoughts please..

Job Market right now in India?

There are lot of communities and individuals on LinkedIn and Instagram who are postings job opportunities from various companies. Only few links will redirect to actual company careers pages mostly it will be redirected to google form where they collect user data or cuvette platform or a wordpress website with lot of ads. It’s so irritating for job hunters to find the actual openings. 

Whats is your view on this? 

Is it legel also to post company openings without there permission?

Can you recommend any good job aggregator platforms?

Everyone is posting about job openings only 🤷

Hi peeps, 

Given the wonderful places you all work in, wanted to request if people can share good roles available out there at your company/some place you know. 

I’m on the lookout to a switch, but I know many are, might be very helpful to have shares across diff companies and roles. 

Hope this is okay. Thanks good people!
