If a job constantly posts for a position over and over but never seems to hire anybody for it, what's going on?

I reached out to a recruiter once bc it said they were hiring on LinkedIn and she let me know it’s from an old job that keeps getting automatically reposted. So either that or they have no intention of hiring externally and just posting to screw with us

But other roles are reposted I would hear from another agency about the same role a month later of course they say the role was on hold. Usually the person they hired didn’t work out.

also curious why this happens

There is an agency in my city that has been posting the same two copywriter roles for two years straight and they just laid off a bunch of their copywriters this past week. So I think sometimes it’s so they look financially healthier than they actually are.

Sure, I totally get the logic behind it, it’s just a bummer for hopeful jobseekers, and I can’t imagine how it feels for the people who were laid off to see their job up for grabs the same day they lost theirs

Strange, isn't it? It's weird when you apply and you just hear nothing. Not even a rejection. Then you follow up with the hiring manager and they just ignore you flat out.

It could be a visa requirement for a candidate they've already identified.

Is working in VC Ops for a T10 Series A fund a good opportunity? This would be an internship preMba.

Other internship options include start-up or consulting.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
