It should be illegal.

Fake job postings are used to harvest data, to give fake signals like the company is growing.

One is a privacy problem, the other one is fraud.

If you get a response saying the position was filled, you should be able to request for the job posting to be removed, or they should do it within a reasonable period of time.

If the position remains open after they tell you it is closed just apply again.

It does seem like the SEC should be involved at least for public companies.

I have been an investor for the last three decades and have NEVER heard anyone mention anything regarding companies health etc based on how many job openings they have (outside of some pitch like “XYZ is planning to hire XXX people for their ZZZ). can’t see why SEC would be involved here in any way. Maybe Dept of Labor but not sure what they could do
