    Fake ad?

    Do we think someone has had brain fade this morning and forgot to change the job title of a 'draft' position before putting their advert live?

    Do companies have so much time on their times that they do this?

    From my experience they are normally swamped by incoming CV's for role rather than having the time to get submissions for fake roles.

      Good idea to grab a screen view as it will disappear very shortly.

      But thanks for the notice Argyle Scott Technology!

        Many agencies put out fake adds all the time. For CV harvesting and using those cv's trying to get names of anyone who is a manager and a potential person to harras to see if they have any vacancies. And some people still put references in CV's

          Yes aware it used to be common place but now the supply and demand has switched around I didn't think it was as common place these days.

            Is anyone going to reply to the Fake Ad with a Fake CV?

            Adam Webb can't be happy his name is associated with this.

              How about phoning them and saying you're interested in the 'Fake Ad' role?

                    Can we sue them for false advertising?
