HN Discussion:
  • ↓Long-open postings are legitimate practice for continuous hiring pipelines and slow specialty roles
  • ↑Ghost jobs are rampant and constitute fraud that wastes applicants' time
  • ↑Companies keep fake listings up to appear as if they're growing or for compliance reasons
  • ~Persistent postings reflect bad pay/conditions or unrealistic unicorn requirements rather than deception
  • •AI has broken hiring on both applicant and employer sides, worsening inefficiency
