I am working on a report on the 2025 job openings. Lots of insights when you look at 450 openings over the course of the year. It will be out in mid-Jan.
Lots of digging Into linkedin sales navigator finds that about 30% don’t get filled within 4 months of being posted
For the folks that read this. What’s your take
1-do the jobs get pulled
2- do they get delayed by months
3- do the people who get hired don’t update LinkedIn (especially promotions)
4- something else
5- all of the above
Appreciate your thoughts.
Many jobs have to be posted externally, even when they have an internal candidate in mind who gets hired. Also, there has been a huge rise in ghost postings where they will post a job and not really intend to fill it.
Also, there is a very weird thing on LinkedIn where a job will get posted and then closed within 24 hours. It may have something to do with the settings closing the job after X number of applicants. But sometimes you don’t see them reposted, which is weird that they would only consider candidates that apply in the first day.
My experience is that there are a lot of Evergreen postings (companies just collecting resumes), as well as positions that the scope changes after it is posted.
<@U09CMC4HSAZ> I am going to look at the companies that had postings and see if there are any habitual posters that do not hire,
@Irwin Hipsman I'd be interested in what you find!
I feel that jobs got pulled or delayed. I landed a new gig, but one of the companies I was at the end of the finish line for delayed hiring until January (and I had just met with the CRO earlier that week!). Another got back to me and said they were pushing the role out for a month or two, but they never put up the job again. It's tough out there!
