Description:

You might be familiar with the term "ghosting" when it comes to dating. One minute you’re talking to someone, the next they disappear.

The same thing is now happening in the job market, with employers not responding to candidates or posting roles that never existed.

It’s a problem thought to affect millions.

In this programme, we hear why "ghost jobs" have become so common, look at the new rules meant to curb the practice, and hear directly from job seekers about how it makes them feel.
