> From the employer's perspective it has to be annoying too, since many pf the applicants arent really interested.

I think employers are ultimately the root cause of this problem, or in the very least recruiters paid and working for these employers. I lost count of the number of job ads that some companies post on any given day, and the extent and number of these job ads are better described as fire-and-forget broadcasting.

I'm talking about the exact same job ad being reposted multiple times a day on multiple geographical regions with multiple variants. Every. Single. Day.

And I doubt the job-to-jobad ratio is higher than 5%.

So what is an unemployed person to do? Reply to a single job ad and expect that one to be the one that counts?



We need a fake spot for job listings. Figure out if the listing is unique or copy pasta
