Vanity job titles may be negatively impacting hiring processes, causing confusion for hiring managers.
Using vague job titles like 'Chief Happiness Guru' instead of traditional titles like 'Chief Human Resources Officer' can make it challenging for recruiters to assess applicants.
Some career coaches suggest job candidates use vanity titles to better represent their actual job responsibilities and skills.
While unconventional job titles may help qualified candidates stand out, it can hinder the hiring process by creating ambiguity and confusion.
