Example 1: A startup&#x2F;marketplace seeding freelance gigs on (niche) job boards...<p>Example 2: A company submitting jobs to get a link for SEO...<p>Example 3: A startup making applicants sign up for its service in order to apply...<p>Anything similar?<p>Would love to read any and all (similar) stories!

Neutron Interactive used to seed fake medical jobs as a funnel to for-profit medical schools.<p>In fact, they might still be doing it. Unfortunately I don&#x27;t have any more information than that.
