An Indian recruiter called me about an open position at Hitachi. I recognized that she had contacted me about this same opening a few months ago. She explained that Hitachi had initially selected a candidate, but the person declined the offer, so the company had to reopen the job requisition. I’ve noticed that this kind of situation—closing and reopening job requisitions—also happens at Apple and many other high-tech companies. Have you experienced something similar?

I worked at Hitachi for many years before being laid off. Trust me, you do not want to work there. They pay below average and go years without raises. It's pretty common for people to turn down offers, as they end up being too low compared to the market.

I'm finding they don't seem as serious about hiring as they should be. I get the impression it's like when someone is employed and applies to jobs anyway just to see if there might be something better and to keep their options open. It feels like it has become such an employer's market that it is now financially feasible for them to do the same.

While I’ve been looking at job postings, I do see a lot of the same ones coming and going. Not sure if they also have candidates that didn’t work out the first time or what. Definitely makes me think twice before applying to them when I know I saw it just a month ago.

I think they hired someone, but it didn’t work out, so they had to repost the job.

It’s got me thinking — do employers just hire temps and drop them without much thought now? I guess it’s easier to let temps go than lay off permanent employees, since companies don’t have to pay severance or deal with unemployment claims.

I get called by foreign Indian unknown recruiters often and I block them, since I believe it's some sort of scheme. I went on one interview, but it was very suspicious and the company had no idea of the interview.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
