I've been applying to jobs for 3 months and keep seeing the same postings up for weeks. Just found out through a friend that her company filled a role I applied to last month, but it's still on their careers page. What's the deal with companies leaving job posts up after they've hired someone?

Sometimes I think they just forget, or they want to give the employee a few weeks in the position before they take the listing down in case it doesn't work out. A lot more employees don't work out than we might realize sometimes.

I always assume things like that are more due to disorganization than any ulterior motive. Yet some people make a good case that companies will leave postings up to make it look like they're always hiring, even if they're not. I suppose that could be true, but I think it's more likely that someone just forgot to tidy up the old listings.

I think it's either laziness or disorganization. Also, if you're seeing these listings on a job board, it could be the fault of the board itself, not the company. Some companies post directly to them, but other listings are scraped from a company's careers page and added without its consent. If that happens, it'd make sense that the job would linger after being filled until the board does another check.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
