Is it just me or are there more bait-and-switch job postings lately? I just had an interview with a third company where the hiring manager explained the role very differently than what the job description said. Why aren't the job postings more upfront about what you actually do - wouldn't that be to everyone's benefit?

I’ve noticed this too and was recently speaking to my friends about this. It’s deceiving and unfortunate. Even noticed that some positions are advertised as fully remote but once you talk to the recruiter they say how it’s actually a hybrid position. Definitely feels like a baiting situation to me and also, unnecessarily time consuming.

I’m getting to the point that I just don’t continue the conversation and hang up. I had three potential “jobs” last week that were insurance network marketing gigs. My favorite was a confirmed zoom meting that ended up being a group call and recorded message. I hung up immediately.
