What’s the point of putting out an application to apply for just to not get hired ? Or for them to tell you that someone already filled the position seriously 😂

I guess the point of submitting an application is you will 100% not get a role otherwise… 🤔

You will never get hired if you don't apply.

Many jobs right now are seeing 100+ applicates per job. With many companies receiving a high volume of applications for each role, they probably won't look at each one, especially if you apply later than most others,

SOme companies will post ghost jobs just to collect resumes for future talent pipelines, project an illusion of growth to investors, and evaluate internal candidates for compliance. This tactic also pacifies overworked employees by feigning recruitment.

There’s a company that I applied to a couple of times but never heard back at all.

Multiple different shifts including a night shift, external application redirected me to another job search site that required me to make an account to “keep track of application progress”, would be ghosted for days, and then get 4 automated emails saying “sorry, position was filled”.
