How many job listings are fake?



In my own pipeline, I've seen this show up in the form of automated job requests with no answer or "the job is on hold".

Reasons given that Companies have "fake" or "ghost" job listings:
67% - Appearing open to external talent
66% - To project company growth
63% - To make Employees believe their workload will be alleviated
62% - To make Employees feel replaceable
59% - To keep resume on file for future date

The result is decreasing trust in companies and brands.

I wonder how many job listings are "fake"?
