You're not going crazy. I've noticed the same thing. I keep track of all the jobs I've applied to, and I've noticed reposted jobs (posted new) that I applied to 1-2 months ago. There's also a couple roles I applied to recently that took several weeks to simply ask me to fill out basically a second application.
As a previous manager myself, there's no logical explanation as to why the role isn't being filled other than the role is fake or the company is in such a state of disorder that it's a good thing we're not working for them.
It is a great way to collect data. From salary expectation across the market to what your competitors are doing. Also, it is a great way to advertise your brand. Last but not least, many hedge funds are tracking the number of open positions in order to get an insight into how well or bad the company is doing. So, yes. Most positions are fake.
I believe *most* are real… been getting some traction and callbacks from my applications.
Have also noticed a slight uptick from recruiters reaching out via Linkedin.
Have the same experience, not sure if they actually hiring as its hard to make the case, unless its executive role, why its not filled in 6+ months.

Agreed! It’s almost impossible to make it to the last round.
