Purpose of Dummy Job Descriptions:
To attract candidates:
Even without a specific role in mind, a recruitment company might post a general job description to get applicants for a pool of potential candidates.
To create a base:
If a company is unsure of the exact requirements of a new role, a generic description allows them to test the waters and see what kind of candidates are interested.
For internal use:
Companies might use these as a starting point for creating more detailed job descriptions for specific roles.
For legal or administrative purposes:
Some organizations use them to fulfill legal requirements or to manage internal processes related to job postings.
