A survey from Robert Walters Philippines showed that 38 percent of hiring managers shared they have or are considering inflating a job title to attract or retain professionals to a role within their organizations.
However, only three percent said they achieved the desired effect of inflating job titles.
Meanwhile, 59 percent said they have not adopted such strategy.
Job title inflation refers to the practice of exaggerating job titles to make it seem glamorous or more important than it actually is. This practice may not accurately describe the responsibilities, seniority or even the salary of the position.
The survey also showed professionals value job titles and promotions, with 92 percent saying a job title is important or very important when applying for a post.
Among young professionals, 23 percent said they expect to be promoted within 12 months of working in a company.
