Make Your Job Search Faster By Screening Out All Those Fake Jobs

Your job search isn't going very fast if you apply to a lot of fake jobs.

And there are more fake jobs being advertised than you realize - It's a significant portion of all job ads, nearly 1/3.

Internal and external recruiters post fake jobs to phish for resumes and to build candidate databases for jobs that may never exist. Recruiters have daily metrics of resumes to input into Applicant Tracking System databases, and interviews (for both real and fake jobs).

It's easy to get excited when a recruiter calls to interview you ... but you wouldn't be very excited if you knew it was for a fake job.

Job boards and LinkedIn have no incentive to block fake ads, that add 1/3 to their revenues. How would Indeed's management explain a 1/3 revenue drop to their shareholders?

But if you could do a better job of screening out more of those fake jobs, it would make your search go a lot faster, because you could spend 1/3 of your search time going after more real jobs. You could investing more effort into the real jobs, that have a chance of hiring you, when you eliminate the fake jobs (with no chance of being hired).
