    That was earlier today so I haven’t heard anything yet.

    I also read an article recently that companies are posting “ghost jobs” where they don’t plan to hire anyone at all.

      Yes, the “ghost jobs” are for two reasons:

      • Collect resumes in case finance approves more funding. In that case, they will be read.
      • Appear to be growing to stockholders and analysts. If you say you are growing and have no job openings, they will not believe you.

        Yeah I’ve experienced the first one. I accepted a position somewhere else long before, but by the time one of the companies had gotten back to me, it had been 7 months since I applied.

      Also the whole, “post a job with impossible requirements, back fill with cheap imported workers/my mate when the position is inevitably unfilled”.

        Careful, if you talk about how the USA’s H1-B visa program is a steaming pile of horseshit designed to allow corporate America to commit fraud and give away 80,000 skilled jobs a year to underpaid imported workers instead of paying market rates to well-qualified US citizens and green card holders, you might get downvoted. Folks here have trouble with balancing their hatred of corporate America with their hatred of the word “citizen” being used unironically.
