Ceros Whaley , a former hiring manager at an unnamed company, is now sharing how to spot "ghost jobs" He was fired for refusing to post fake jobs on sites like Indeed, Monster and other hiring sites.

Whaley says these job listings were not created to find more qualified people but to "encourage" current employees to improve their performance.

The last bit of advice he gives is to cross reference job postings you find on job listing boards with the company's actual website. "They'll post a job listing on Indeed or some job searching website and they won't have it on the website," the former hiring manager explains while informing people they can check small businesses' social media accounts. Job hunting can be soul sucking at times but using some of the tips Whaley shares, you just may be able to avoid wasting your time applying for jobs that don't exist..
