Any reasons why a job that was posted 3 months ago gets reposted again?
I keep seeing many of these reappearing.
It's the same team and lob, same recruiter, same hm, same job title and level.
Anyone in recruiting could help explain this?

I'm starting to think they're just 👻 jobs...

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.

We refresh posts every month or so whenever we have multiple positions of the same role available. Refreshing helps to draw new candidates and also has some effect on algorithmic suggestions to candidates candidatescandidates.

Some places may have “rolling recruitment” for specific jobs and grades. Where we are we do a bulk software engineer recruitment feed and it’s always the same person that ends up as named contact for it, though we rarely put the name of a team as it’s a general entry point to multiple possible teams.

My recommendation to job seekers, work with reputable recruiters that have established rapport with HMs. HMs work with recruiters they have established rapport with to fill positions that are never posted. They are real positions that HMs are looking to fill.

Work within your network to find the recruiter(s) that have established rapport with HMs for the company you want to submit your application.

I have always received job offers working with recruiters who send a select list of resumes to the HM.

I have never received job offers directly applying to a job posting, goes through HR, let alone if it gets to the HM, receiving generic resumes. HMs don’t have the time to go through 100s of resumes.

Job descriptions get re-used frequently, especially within internal teams, so it could legitimately be a new role. Also, there could be indecisiveness within the organization as to whether they really need the role.

As long as these offshore staff augmentation firms exist, this sort of thing will persist.

How do you explain contract after contract after contract on your résumé? for the last seven years, I’ve been working for contractors, short term 3 to 6 months.

Great

A lot of jobs I apply to and get hired or rejected, are often posted multiple times. The process itself takes 3-6 months in my case. Also, getting qualified individuals is not easy either even with all the layoffs. So repairing of a job over 3-6 months is just normal in engineering fields. I am surprised there are so many people who found it odd.

3 main scenarios from most to least likely in my estimation:

1) Info fishing by the recruiter. There is no job, but she is building her resume bank.

2) Found someone, hired, did not meet expectations, fired, job is reposted.

3) They got a pool of 100+ potentials then closed the rec. No good candidates were interviewed so the job was never filled. They reopened the rec.

Yes. The main reason is that they are not interested in hiring anyone, but they maintain their "open positions" to show that they are "growing". It is fake.
Also, it helps this "administration" to prop up their shitty job statistics, since each ghost job post counts as "job created".

Fairly common practice for hiring companies to repost old job reqs again when they become stale -- to insure that they again show up at the top of the search response when searched for again...

People these days take jobs and continue to look for more money - thats whats wrong with the workforce these days, no loyalty on either side.

The list of candidates they got from the first round wasn't sufficient enough or the person they offered the job to rejected the offer.

Good day :) I hope everyone is doing well. I am requesting assistance from anyone in regards to a question that a Recruiter posed to me in a series of questions. This process is not that same that I am use to while working as a Recruiter Coordinator. Nevertheless I really want this job and I know that I can and will excel in the role. Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.
