"It's a very shocking number and I think it actually is disheartening, especially when you think about the current market for specific industries and for specific job seekers like in the tech space where layoffs are very prominent," says Jasmine Escalera, a career expert at MyPerfectResume, the company that sponsored the recruiting trends survey.
"Sometimes companies want to get ahead of the talent pool and have a bank of resumes from qualified candidates to pull from when a job opens up. This is especially common for recruiting agencies that specialize in specific roles," says Natalie Boren, senior vice president of recruitment firm Career Group Companies.
"Often companies have contracts with online job boards allowing for a certain number of job listings each month so the firm might post a role that isn't open right now, but they anticipate will be open soon, or the position has frequent turnover so the company keeps the job listing online," says Lisa Frank, CEO of LBF Strategies, LLC.
