We need more regulation of commercial speech. It should be unlawful with serious penalties to knowingly mislead people via commercial speech.
Nothing new, just amplified by AI. Companies inflate open roles to make themselves look more legit. A bonus is they can trawl for candidates and keep resumes in the back pocket. AI makes this easier so it can be done for less effort so more companies can do it. If you want a real job that really exists, aim for intros to hiring managers.
So, why did it happen then? Well, we have a handful of people on H1-B visas. Apparently, there is some requirement that employers are required to demonstrate that there are not any other capable applicants than the one they are sponsoring or something like that. So, my employer made the posts, collected all the resumes, and just stored them in one of my coworker's desk drawers.
I wonder how often other employers are doing this very same thing as well?
What people fail to understand is that fake job postings pollute the pool and make real hiring impossible. We’re back to a referrals only job market.
I was never able to get a job through applications on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. Every job I got was through a referral, and the same is true for my friends who are also programmers.
That’s why tools like Jobs Applier AI Agent are proliferating as well. Fight fire with fire, I guess?
We need a snappy word for everything in life becoming a shitty escalating cat and mouse game. I’m hearing the word enshittification a lot these days but unsure if it’s right here

Who are these people keeping resumes in their "back pocket". Has anyone ever been reached out about a job months or years later. Has anyone here ever just keep a resume just in case?

This actually happened to me once, with about 4 years between sending my cv and recruiter contact. I don't believe it's very common tho.

Was it effective? Did you take a chance on the role they were offering you?
