#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've heard that many of the jobs posted on general jobs boards like that are never intended to result in a hire. They are posted when the company already knows who they are going to hire, but are legally obligated to post the position, or when the company wants to manufacture evidence that "no qualified candidates" could be found locally.
I’ve never heard of this outside of government contracts that require n+X. Is this a visa related workaround or what? Or is it just chatter from the grapevine?
We did have many work visa employees though.
We worked with Healthcare clients. Big ones.

Or any public sector job where positions have to be posted but you already have your internal hire, son-in-law, or cousin lined up.
But, it's mostly just rumor I've heard.

Could you maybe link me one of those? I've googled a bit but didn't find ready-to-use DBs with that data.

#27> Using Selenium, I used a script to google iteratively for strings query = f"ask hn who is hiring {month} {year}" to get the IDs of the items that represent the monthly threads. FYI, you could've just used the hackernews API, and get all posts by the user `whoishiring`, which submits all these who is hiring posts. And then filter out only the posts where the title starts with "Ask HN: Who is hiring?", as this bot al…
This makes just so much sense and would spare me 65 lines of code. Thank you!
