Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

LOL. I would recommend asking your own TA team. JPMC does the same thing pretty consistently. :-)
I applied for a position and when I was scheduled to interview for one of the later rounds, the position was reposted on LinkedIn. I got made an offer about a week later.
I think in some instances, recruiters have some sort of setting that reposts job listings automatically that are not filled after a certain time or that have not had a certain threshold of applications. That’s my suspicion anyways.
Headcount game.
100% internal politics.
HM is probably not seriously in need of filling the role and looking for a tailored fit. They sometimes repost for search optimization I guess to make it look like it’s a brand new opportunity. They might be hiring multiple people for the same role as well.

Could be but then there were some they readjusted the level to both lower and higher than the original job req they put it down.
in capital one's case, their sociopathic performance management system mandates that a certain percentage of people are fired every 6 months. so maybe the place you're seeing is also a hire-to-fire shop?

Chase is a hire to fire that's why I'm actively looking
We're always in layoffs mode regardless of the economy
Few of the notable ones were Mastercard(unstable), Huntington bank (very scammy), Disney (unstable), veeva ( weird; they have jobs sitting there since December and keep auto rejecting me) and then there are lesser known companies which I completely lost hope for an offer, and best to stay out of Blackrock (seriously only waste time)
These jobs often get posted time and time again because the person they choose for the job either walks off a job because it's a shit job or they fire them because their expectations are way too high. Most employers want $50 an hour worth of service for $20 an hour pay. Other jobs have absolutely terrible working conditions. So when you see a job getting constantly reposted that is a huge red flag..
This is very true
I recently read an interesting article that featured some large companies such as JPMC, Amazon, Chase…. Often there aren’t positions open so they put ‘ghost’ or placeholder positions. Some of these companies have even recently laid off folks. It’s so that shareholders don’t get worried etc and appears as everything is progressing positively. When I first saw the news article about it, I thought wait a minute, what? Then did a bit of research. Explains why companies do it to fill their ‘talent’ pool for possible future needs as well and not immediate ones. Check it out for yourself.

That's also probably why you see recruiters ghost more often after and/or during interview stages.
They need to prove to USCIS saying they interviewed American candidates but couldn't find someone fit to replace their current visa employee
These are not jobs, posting future budget approval.
I often have found recruiters and companies advertising for jobs that have more than one discipline included within the job description.
One of the biggest problems that I see employers advertising for an industrial mechanic. Almost all of these employers require the mechanic to do heavy electrical work that is specifically and normally the job of an electrician. So most mechanics don't qualify and most of the people that the headhunters sends to the company are rejected eventually because they're attempting to mix two disciplines in one person however the bottom line is a mechanic is not an electrician. What these companies really want is an electrician who will work as a mechanic for the lower pay of a mechanic and it never works out well. Most headhunters have a terrible time securing people for that job because the company's expectations are unrealistic. To make a more radical example let's suppose that they want a pharmaceutical technician who can also do open heart surgery. Why would any doctor want to work for the much lower pay of a pharmaceutical technician ? Hence, why would an electrician want to work for the lower pay of a mechanic?
I've seen more than one employer want an industrial mechanic who can do carpentry, drywall, electrical, welding, paint, roof repair sheet metal fabrication, plumbing, concrete work, and operate precision machinery in the machine shop. Mechanics are not Carpenters, mechanics are not Machinists, and mechanics are not electricians. They have a name for this, it's called "greed" and you need to be able to recognize it when you see it.
As a headhunter you need to understand that no matter who you send to an employer like this, they are not going to be good enough.
So it is best that when you get requests from employers like this you just need to quietly put that request on the bottom of the pile and conveniently forget about it... It will save you a lot of headaches.
Maybe management is playing the H1B visa game? Posting irrational requirements in an effort to claim no one in the US wants it or is qualified, and then justify an H1B visa.
They ARE ghost jobs.
Just to be cautious, I collect job openings and save them on a spreadsheet.
About every 3 months, same company + same positions 'suddenly' becomes available....I ignore those postings now.
Lots of info on YT about this, and why it makes an employer 'look good' to the board and investors.
No coincidence that reposting the phony jobs also makes the job market appear to be much better than it actually is. The phony postings allow a corrupt government to pretend things are booming. It also prevents them from extending unemployment benefits which is badly needed right now.
Benefits extension and putting US workers first are both badly needed right now.
I think It takes around 3 months to get the employee insurance approved. That’s why they also give a 3 month or 6 month preliminary/ evaluation period. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
What do you mean employee insurance?
97 times out of 100, the job isn't real unless a unicorn surfaces.
So true, unicorns (according to YT) are REAL! So yea, they're all fake until you actually see one of them!
Sometimes it can be legit. The candidate selected may fail to pass background or drug screening so the position has to be reposted.
My experience is they are either ghost jobs or the recruiter/hiring manager and team are terrible and looking for a unicorn that does not exist.
I've seen plenty of listing for jobs where there are plenty of red flags.
One that I do remember seeing required Windows OS, Microsoft Server, Cisco iOS, Linux Red Hat, Unix, ITIL certification, and desktop support.
The minimum job experience for all of that was 5 years. The posting was for an entry level position at $20 an hour.
Oh, and it was posted as an IT Manager position.
When I applied for the position my resume was rejected
This one has been my experience too. Stay away from the job if it’s not filled in a reasonable timeframe. Either the work, team, management or any combination of all suck. The other posts referencing HR headcount games is real too. Just letting the job float with no actual Immediate need for the moment.
During GFC I saw the same jobs recur. None of them were real.
Some are just harvesting resumes for their database.
Some are starting identity theft.
It would depend on the job. For instance, call centers and dispatch centers are always hiring. Recently when I was recruiting, we chose two candidates who both turned down the role, and we had to start over with it. There could be a lot of reasons it got reposted. If it's not a high-attrition type of job, the person who took the role was maybe not a good fit, or took another job shortly after starting. (This has also happened to me when recruiting.) It's hard to say without knowing who was hiring and what was the title being hired for.
