If no one is getting hired, why are they placing job requests? If they need someone, they will keep looking until they can hire someone. Whether or not their application was written with AI.
To look busy as hiring managers, they build a waitlist of candidates “just in case” and then never call them up but they can tell their boss how many applications they “reviewed” each week.
Also to keep stringing overworked employees along. When they complain about long hours tell them “we’re looking, these things take time, need thhe right candidate and then approval from corporate” blah blah blah. Really they’re just waiting for anyone who crashes out and quits and then they have a wait list of a hundred people.
Feels like my dept. We looking to hire for months. And I only had 2 interviews since January. Insane. In fact one of the reasons why is because too many overqualified ppl are applying and the dept refuses to pay them for it. So I said ok let’s hire a new graduate! But Noooo we need someone with experience! Like mate I did those job straight out of college!
It’s just greed ive deen it happen several times: people complain they’re overworked, HR strings them along about hiring more help, someone crashes out and quits on the spot one day, HR takes another six months to finally replace the person, that person is related to the owner and sucks at the job, fin.
They most likely hire internally for experienced positions and bait desperate job seekers with shitty entry-level work. That’s if the job is even real and not a ghost listing.
Also to bump numbers for investor calls. “Look at all these positions we’re hiring for, clearly we’re growing and healthy and our growth is natural”. Kinda like hyping up a movie before cancelling it for a tax write-off on the potential income.

Yup. Ghost job postings have been around a while now.

Project growth, and also wait for hires willing to work for cheaper than they’re worth.
Rinse and repeat, every 3 months.

What field are you in?
It’s busy work to create more token usage for the slop companies.
Quantity is king, hardly any fortune 500 cares about the quality behind it. LLM usage is perceived and treated as an equivalent to efficiency.
Then in the quarterly business reviews you can show nice charts trending up.
Probably so they can get corporate welfare checks from Trump or sth
