Job Seekers Are Fed Up—And the Data Proves Why

Job seekers are wasting time chasing listings that were never meant to be filled. A new Business Insider report shows nearly half of job postings now go unfilled—many are nothing more than "ghost jobs." The Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act (TJAAA) aims to end this deception and bring honesty back to the hiring process.

Chatbots, Ghost Jobs & Data Leaks — Why We Need the TJAAA

The Wired article reveals that McDonald’s AI hiring chatbot, Olivia—built by Paradox.ai—exposed over 64 million records of job seekers’ personal data, including resumes, contact information, and chat transcripts, due to shockingly poor security. This breach highlights the unchecked risks of using automated tools in hiring without proper transparency, oversight, or accountability. It underscores the urgency of legislation like the TJAAA, which would require that job seekers be informed of AI use, allowed to opt out, and protected from having their data misused—especially in connection with misleading or inactive job ads.
