Companies Are Posting Jobs They Never Plan To Fill

Companies post jobs they've already filled and it's completely legal. A recruiter with 20+ years breaks down the three real reasons job postings exist even when there's no actual opening, why your application disappeared into silence, and what to actually do about it. If you've been job searching and getting nothing but silence, this explains a lot.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL I spent 20 years as a corporate recruiter hiring thousands of people into companies like Amazon, FedEx, Korn Ferry, and ABB. I teach what actually happens inside the hiring process — not what sounds good on LinkedIn. If you are applying and hearing nothing back, getting interviews but not offers, or quietly planning your exit — you are in the right place. This channel covers how recruiters really evaluate candidates, why doing everything right still fails, and how to build a career that gives you options. No hustle culture. No generic advice.
