most of them are fake/ghost jobs...
I run into mandatory mobile phone number inputs in on-line forms from time to time. While I do have a cell phone now, I don't use it a lot and don't have the number memorized. If I enter my land line # or a fake #, they will still send texts to the number.
Some places are verifying the number is registered with a mobile provider too. I have a home VOIP line that accepts texts and I can send them too, and I use it when I don't want to give out my cell #. Some sites won't take it though, knowing it's not a cell carrier. Some won't take Google Voice numbers either.
Someone should make rickroll versions of those accounts.
And the star indicating they are mandatory? What if i don't use that junk?

I can really only see this if you’re applying for a social media or influencer related position or if you have a portfolio of related work that would be published on those sites. Otherwise, even as far as most background checks go, it’s too invasive and very presumptuous.
Job applications want your whole life
Indeed, they do.
If they're asking for them, they don't know what they are. Therefore they don't exist.
If they require you to make one to fill it out, then there are other jobs out there.

Required
Hey, I don't want ruffle anyone's feathers but should your life be more than just social media. I never post about my life online because its mine and only I get to experience the joys and sorrows that it entertains. Comparing yourself to the twit behind a keyboard is kinda lame
