Job postings. Elections. Advertising. Tuesday’s weather.

Job postings

First, news about job advertisements.

Recruitment firms copy companies’ job advertisements.

This is according to a Yle report.

When a company is looking for an employee, it publishes an advertisement on the Job Market.

Some recruitment companies then start looking for employees for the company even though the company has not requested one.

The purpose of recruitment companies is to receive a fee if they find a suitable employee for the company.

This surprises companies.

For example, a construction company in Helsinki was looking for an electrician. The recruiter also saw an advertisement for the same job from a recruitment company.

CEO Marti Udos is amazed.

“They just directly copied our ad and probably tried to hunt down employees for us and get a recruitment fee for it.”

Holopainen’s research shows that if advertising is reduced, overconsumption will decrease.
