Proposed legislation in Pennsylvania and New York would require employers to disclose hiring timelines and remove filled job postings, while the Texas attorney general is reportedly investigating LinkedIn over allegedly profiting from fake job ads — putting "ghost job" posting practices under legal scrutiny that recruiting and ATS teams should monitor.
