This is a YouTube video titled "Une nouvelle loi va CRIMINALISER les fausses annonces d'emploi ! (JTAAA)" created in August 2025. The content is a monologue discussing a proposed U.S. law aimed at criminalizing fake job postings, explaining the implications for employers and candidates, the motivations behind fake ads, and potential impacts on the job market and employee productivity. The speaker provides detailed insights into the issue but does not engage in a multi-speaker conversation.
Hello, my friends. American lawmakers are currently drafting a law to criminalize fake job postings. This means that employers and companies will not be allowed to post fake job postings online and waste everyone's time. So let me tell you, the law is currently being developed in the United States, but the advantage is that from now on it will become the norm because many American companies are also European. If they are no longer allowed to post fake job postings in the United States, they will probably stop doing so elsewhere. And other countries will probably follow suit and pass similar legal measures. Let me tell you, the statistics say that I found carrier builder, but there are probably other statistics that say that up to 40% of job postings are fake. What does that mean? The law is currently trying to define what a fake posting is. That means there is no intention to recruit, right? There is no budget, there is no role filled. There is nothing at all. It is just an ad that has been posted online. There is also another case of fraudulent ads, which are those where someone has already been recruited. Statistically, 30% of employers who have recruited someone do not remove the ad. They will keep it. So what will this do? Well, this will mean that people will collectively spend millions of hours sending CVs, studying company profiles and refining their applications. And in the end, the chances of being hired are zero. Exactly zero. So the law called JTAA Jaw. If it were to materialize, here's what it would mean. Employers who post fraudulent ads will be fined $200,000 per ad. There you have it. First point. Secondly, candidates who have sent their CVs and made an effort to respond to an ad and then discover that it is fake can file a complaint against the company and ask for $5,000 per candidate per ad. Now be careful. $5,000 doesn't seem very high, but be careful. There are already $200,000. But there is also the fact that you post a fake ad. Okay, a fake ad. What will happen if you have 1,000 people who respond and then the ad is fake? What will happen if 1,000 people could each ask for €5,000 in compensation for a single ad? So let's imagine if your company is a repeat offender and has posted it without any guarantees. You see what that can do? It can be a disaster. It can ruin a company, in fact. So that's a very good thing. I'll keep you posted when it goes away. I really hope that this will pass because the market needs to be assigned. And so it seems if the law passes, there will be the advertisement that will be published, but there will be a file behind it. This means there will be a traceability advertisement. So a unique advertisement number that allows it to be traced to know that we can go back to the advertisement in the event of an inspection. We can find the recruitment file, we can find the budget. The advertisement will also have to mention a serious salary range, not a salary range saying €2,000, €1,000 per month, up to €1,000,000 per month. It will have to be a serious margin. It will also have to mention if there is ever AI that intervenes, artificial intelligence that intervenes in the selection. So in fact, this is something that could really clean up the market all of a sudden. Now why do companies use fraudulent advertisements, fake advertisements? They waste your time. Well, I'll tell you right away. First of all, it's about giving the impression that we're growing because you have to know 1 All companies like to show off that they're successful, that they're doing well, that everything's going great, even when things are going badly. They want to show that we're making money, that customers are snapping up our products, that we're recruiting. And to prove that we're recruiting, what do we do? We're going to pollute the Internet with ads. And then ultimately it'll never be followed up. But in any case, it looks like it's happening when everything's going well. Secondly, the other reason why we put up fake ads is for databases. This means that sometimes companies will start advertising a bunch of different jobs, then collect CVs and feed them into a database in order to later do market research, see pricing, or see the pressure on a particular type of role, which allows them to push down their employees salaries. For example, let's say there's a software engineer with five years of experience. How much does he cost? What's the market for him? How can you negotiate with the people who work for you if you have no idea what the market is like outside? So what they do is they post fake ads for software engineers with five years of experience and then they see if they have 1,750 CVs in 24 hours. What does that tell them? Well, it tells them that the market is oversupplied. It tells them that the guy over there, well, if he's not happy, we'll kick him out, Right? As simple as that. But I'll tell you another reason why they make fake ads. And I've seen it in my life. And this is perhaps the most vicious of all. Let me tell you, I once Worked in a company where we were overloaded. That means we weren't hiring. The volume of work kept increasing because the company was regularly bringing in new clients. Every time the client base increases, the amount of work inevitably increases. The people who left weren't replaced. Two or three people were shaken off. So we were slowly drowning. When I talked about it to my boss, what did he say? Yes, I know, I know. I get it. I know what you're suffering from. And believe me, I've talked to finance, I've talked to human resources, and we're hiring. You know what I mean? We're hiring. The proof is there are ads. Look on LinkedIn. Go see. Go see on LinkedIn. We've put ads up. You'll see on the site. We've put ads up too. And there you have it. Well, it's going to happen. And in fact, they're fake ads. And by the way, in the, in the study that I mentioned at the beginning of the video, well, Karbolder says that, yes, there are resources, Human resources people. Human resources who have stated that using fake ads increases productivity. It increases productivity. So on the one hand, because employees think that there are others who will come to help them. So we're going to hold on, we're going to endure difficult conditions. But hey, it's just the last sprint, right? By Christmas, we'll have double the size of the team. Well, that. That'll never happen. But also, perhaps a perverse effect is to say, in a sort of silent threat, perhaps it's to tell employees that, look, we have open ads anyway. Did you see the role you were recruited for? You were recruited for that role, right? Okay, the ad is still open. Do you know what that means? You're on your probationary period, right? The ad is still there. We're still listening to the market. We're still collecting CVs. That means if you slack off, you're out. We'll bring someone else in, settle, right? Do you know what I mean? And for them, that increases efficiency. It increases productivity. In any case, productivity is what we call work intensity. They seek to ensure that people work longer and longer, but with increasing intensity. In China, they have gone so far as to monitor employees in offices using cameras equipped with artificial intelligence. If you stop moving, your manager is informed. We'll talk about that another time. In any case, if the law passes, I hope it will pass. I'll talk about it in another video.
