The Fakers are Afoot

Ok, so I am constantly waiting. For some reason I am not being that pro-active in my job search. I guess I got tired of all of the headhunters going after me last time. This time things just seem different. Everyone seems to be going slower. The job boards have not jumped like I thought they would. There has been a steady stream of around 25 jobs in DFW available at any one time. I can just sense that many companies are fake hiring. I hate that. What is a fake hire?? Well I have been in 2 companies that did this. Managers assume they will need to hire someone in the future so they put out a request for people, even though they do not have the go ahead from their bosses to hire someone. So they end up getting recruiters to contact them all of the time and may even schedule a tech screen with a candidate. Then if the candidate passes the manager goes to purse holder and they say "no funding." and that is that. I think it is a time-waster for managers who have nothing to do. Anyways, that is the reality of the job market. Though there are real open positions out there. I guess I should actually apply to those openings... Although with a promise of an offer already out there I wonder if I should...
