There are a few reasons. A big one I mentioned is that I could've gotten a few free trips to California out of my latest job search. Another is to rack up some interview experience to prepare for an interview that one actually cares about.

Maybe it's more common than I think. But, I still think there's a difference between a business wasting an individual's time (through fraud) and an individual wasting a business's time.

For example, I can go to JC Penney's with absolutely no intention (nor means) of buying something. But, if they advertise something they don't have, or for a price they don't intend to honor, they can be in big trouble for "bait and switch," false advertising, etc.

I see the problem similarly for employers interviewing for a position they have no intention of filling.

But, the chance that any interviewee could really know this happened is slim. So, it's just a thought experiment to discuss whether it should be an actionable harm.

IMO, employers have much more motivation. Often, internal policies require them to interview externally before filling the position internally. Or, as I mentioned earlier, it's common for employers to go through the motions of interviewing just to have protection for hiring an H1B/L1B immigrant worker.

I believe that's a fraud. But, nearly impossible to prove it happened. So, it's kind of a pointless discussion in that sense.

In most cases it's not against the law to "cause harm".
Harm (damages) is what civil court is all about. In the case of interviewing for a non-existent job, I think there could be a case made that the individual's time was wasted through what was known by the employer to be a fraud.

It would depend on whether the employer indicated the job was open now, rather than some nebulous future staffing needs; and whether this implied some kind of commitment to the interviewee (that he wouldn't have interviewed if he knew the true nature of the solicitation).

I think there's a strong logical case for that. But, I think most judges would dismiss it because people go on interviews all the time with the expectation they'll get nothing in return. I think it would be hard to get a judge past that point, and to the point that the employer intentionally (fraudulently) wasted the interviewee's time.

Why would anyone waste their time or your time for a non-existent position?
Often they do it to build evidence for their H1B/L1B hirings, bringing in offshore contractors and employees who will work for far less.

These folks also work with greater diligence because they effectively can't leave and work for another employer until they adjust their immigration status to permanent resident. This adjustment of status can't be done without their employer sponsoring them. They are, in every sense of the word, indentured servants. Working for whatever pay the employer will give, any hours the employer wants, hoping to make it through the "green card" process (at the employer's discretion).

Employers regularly interview domestic candidates they have no intention of hiring (for jobs that don't exist) just to build a file of examples of individuals who [subjectively] didn't meet requirements, justifying the employer's motivation to hire offshore talent.

Companies advertise and interview for these non-jobs all the time. Not really much you can do about it. Personally I wish you could successfully sue them over it, as they're a big waste of time for candidates, and they seriously dilute the effort one puts forth searching for a job. Like I said before, candidates also do the reverse and interview for jobs with no intention of taking them. It goes both ways, this wastes their time looking for someone to fill the position.

The non-jobs exist for any number of reasons. Sometimes they start interviewing for a position before it's funded. Sometimes it's to justify a visa candidate, or for EEOC reasons. Sometimes it's because the right hand of the company doesn't know the left hand has already filled the position.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23295609 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:38:57 EDT Re: Misled by company, interviewed for non-existent job http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23295227 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23295227 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:30:20 EDT Re: Misled by company, interviewed for non-existent job http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23294943
OTOH, sometimes a person with excellent credentials and experience will apply for a job that they're overqualified for, or they don't have exactly what the company is looking for at the moment. The company likes what they see on paper and wants to meet the person for possiblle consideration for a future position.

The company gets to meet you, and perhaps when they DO have an opening that fits your experience, they'll call you back in and hire you.

I've been on many courtesy interviews after sending out cold letters. The company told me flat out that they didn't have an opening, but my resume was impressive and they wanted to meet me for possible future consideration.

It is possible they were just following guidelines (EEOC).
or...

They might be looking to replace someone that doesn't know it yet, and can not post this position without alarming the individual. It happens.

Keep looking. Chalk this up to experience. Move on to find something else.

Would you like the company to have legal recourse against you if you interviewed without any intention of taking a job there?

There's your answer. In many cases the company gets the worse end of screwing around like this because they pay for airfares, hotels, etc.

I had my heart set on a job here in TO, but I could have gone to interviews for a bunch of jobs in California anyways (electronics and I have connections for at least a couple). My conscience combined with the effort/stress of the interviews is all that kept me from rustling up a bunch of free trips.

People/companies aren't liable for wasted time, unless of course you have some arrangement to be compensated for your time beforehand. Interviews are generally 'free' and don't come with any obligations for either party.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23294097 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:30:04 EDT Re: Misled by company, interviewed for non-existent job http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23293903 you to prove the position "never existed" and they purposely set out to defraud you. Changing their mind about filling the position, giving it to an internal candidate, the boss's nephew, or other demonstrations of lame ass management do not count.

Even then, the only damages you would be entitled to are costs directly associated with your attending the interview: travel, parking, etc. If it was an out of town interview you could include, airfare, hotels and meals.

In some cases, in addition to fraud, you also have the burden of proving that they somehow benefited from interviewing you. For example: The company receives government grants based on how many people they bring through the door and you were a hapless rube used to pump up their numbers. In this case, you might be entitled to punitive damages and they could face criminal charges.

So to answer your basic question, you have no practical recourse. It's unethical and it sucks, but think of it as a good practice for your interviewing skills and move on.

Good luck on the next interview!

Come to find out the job never was meant to be farmed out , but Im still close friends with the manager I interviewed with.

The reason was they needed to hire a "family" worker and the manager was tired of the bullshit favors being called in , so he had me interview with all the managers and burn up some cash to show them I was a better candidate. It tuns out the ceo called in the favor and his neighbors son got the job. It's life I laughed about it and to this day he is a good friend and always is looking out for me.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to sue. It could cost ya some bucks for not much gain.

What is your Loss?

I have been in the same situation a couple of times in the last several years. Unfortunately I could prove nothing nor did I suffer any kind of Measurable Loss. I chalked it up to Interviewing Experience.

Wait till later and you run into Age Discrimination. You know its being done to you, yet there is no way to prove it. You can see it in the look of the Interviewer's eyes, Interview is over much too soon, they do not even look at your Resume, promised followups do not materialize, phone calls and e-mails are not returned and so on.

And in my area no Attorney is interested in a case, as there is not enough $ return for them, compared to the $ they would have to Invest in preparing a case.

Both of the above are the old - he said, she said.

Plus if a Company is behaving in a manner you describe, they are not worth working for. If they lie at the Interview, what will they pull when you get the position? Run from them as fast as possible and go to the next fish in the sea

Welcome to the ranks of the Invisible Walking Wounded.

Nobody really falls for it, but there's a lot of "yeah the guy we hired was the best candidate (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)". And everybody goes along with it.

If you have reasonable assumption that you will need someone, you might line up some ducks to have the candidates ready for day one of the available job.

And, I have flown cross country (their dime) to find a job was eliminated while I was there (cutbacks).

So, without further data from you, maybe this is why?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23291520 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:52:50 EDT Re: Misled by company, interviewed for non-existent job http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23291486 Watch your bank accounts and credit cards.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23291486 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:48:00 EDT Re: Misled by company, interviewed for non-existent job http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Misled-by-company-interviewed-for-nonexistent-job-23291456

I had two interviews with an organization for a position that I now discovered never existed in the first place. Can a company with no intention to hire mislead and bring in a person for formal interviews? I'm guessing the answer is a resounding "yes" but I thought I'd post to see if anyone has had a similar experience and if they did anything besides let the employer make a fool of them.
