The proportion of 'ghost' jobs - vacancies that have been advertised but not filled and continue to appear on the company's website - has increased in recent years in Israel. The rate of ghost jobs has reached 9%-11% compared to 3% in January 2022. The phenomenon is attributed to organizational inefficiency or lack of clarity regarding future hiring needs. Lack of human resources and the need to signal to quality talent are also factors. This phenomenon is not unique to Israel, as tech giants in the US and Swedish payments giant Klarna have also been found to continue advertising jobs despite hiring freezes.
