RETAIL MARKETING MANAGER

Data Harvesting

I am submitting this feedback regarding my experience interviewing with MBX for a Retail marketing role. I initially began my application process with MBX in early March. I successfully completed both first and second round online interviews with the Senior Manager and General Manager before moving forward into in-person meetings and strategic case-study presentations. The presentations and case studies appeared to be met with positive and satisfactory responses from the team. However, following these meetings, communication significantly declined and I experienced an extended period of little to no follow-up throughout the whole month of April. After this period of silence, HR later re-engaged discussions by introducing a consulting opportunity, citing “distance” as a primary factor impacting the original full-time role consideration. This was particularly confusing and disappointing given that location considerations could have been clarified much earlier in the process prior to multiple interview rounds, presentations, and extensive strategic discussions. Following the consulting discussions, communication again became inconsistent/ ghosted with another approximately two-week period of little to no follow-up. At that point, it became apparent to me that there were broader organizational and communication issues impacting the process, as well as a lack of mutual respect for candidate time and professional contribution. Due to these concerns, I ultimately decided to formally close communication and withdraw myself from further discussions. The overall process extended close to three months and ultimately led nowhere despite the 20 pages extensive level of strategic presentations, campaign thinking, and business recommendations requested throughout the interview cycle. As a candidate, this experience was deeply disappointing and ultimately left me feeling that a substantial amount of high-level strategic input had been extracted without clear organizational alignment, transparency, or follow-through. As a senior-level marketing professional, I fully understand that hiring priorities and internal structures may evolve. However, I believe candidates should be treated with transparency, professionalism, and respect for the considerable time and strategic contribution involved in advanced interview processes. I hope this feedback helps improve the candidate experience and hiring practices moving forward.

What Are Ghost Jobs?

Ghost jobs are job postings that companies publish with no intention of actually hiring. Some are left online long after a position has been filled. Others are posted purely to collect resumes for future use or to create the impression that a company is growing, which is an important signal for investors. Candidates spend hours tailoring applications, preparing for interviews, and waiting for responses — only to receive silence. Ghost hiring is a widespread problem that wastes job seekers' time and erodes trust in the job market in the broad sense.

Common Signs of Fake Hiring Practices

Job postings that remain open for months with no updates
Recruiter reaches out, then goes silent after initial contact
Multiple rounds of interviews followed by no response
The same job is repeatedly reposted every few weeks
Vague job descriptions with no clear team or reporting structure
Offer extended, then rescinded or delayed indefinitely

Why Companies Post Ghost Jobs

Not every ghost job is intentional fraud — but the effect on job seekers is the same. Common reasons companies post fake job listings or job postings with no intent to hire include:

Pipeline building — collecting resumes for future roles that may never open
Internal hiring — the position is already promised to an internal candidate but must be posted publicly
Market signaling — appearing to grow to attract investors or press attention
Abandoned requisitions — headcount was approved then frozen, but the listing was never taken down
ATS automation — job boards auto-republish listings without anyone reviewing whether the role is still open
