Theories of Legal Liability in Ghost Job Cases

There are several potential legal grounds to hold companies accountable for ghost jobs. Our attorneys at Audet & Partners, LLP are experienced in exploring these legal theories, which may include:

1. (1) Fraudulent Misrepresentation: Employers may be liable if they intentionally post fake job listings, knowing applicants would rely on these postings and waste time and resources applying.
2. (2) Unfair Business Practices: Posting fictitious job openings may violate state and federal business laws if it is shown to be an unethical practice that harms job seekers and creates a misleading business reputation.
3. (3) Negligent Misrepresentation: If an employer carelessly posts job listings without clarifying their true hiring intentions, they may be liable for negligent misrepresentation, particularly if applicants suffer losses due to misleading information.
4. (4) Infliction of Emotional Distress: Many job seekers experience emotional harm, including stress, anxiety, or discouragement, as a result of pursuing nonexistent jobs. This psychological impact can serve as the basis for an emotional distress claim.
5. (5) False Advertising: Under certain state laws, fake job postings could constitute false advertising, especially if companies use them to manipulate public perception or attract candidates under false pretenses.
