    Yes, the “ghost jobs” are for two reasons:

    • Collect resumes in case finance approves more funding. In that case, they will be read.
    • Appear to be growing to stockholders and analysts. If you say you are growing and have no job openings, they will not believe you.

      Yeah I’ve experienced the first one. I accepted a position somewhere else long before, but by the time one of the companies had gotten back to me, it had been 7 months since I applied.
