RE: He interviews for jobs that aren’t actually available, justifying his continued employment by stating that ‘in case an opening comes available, or we have a temporary need to increase personnel, I’ve got a stable of people ready to go.’
TRANSLATION: There aren’t really any jobs to begin with. So what’s with the premise of the title : “With so many job openings...”?
Additional reasons for so many job openings and so few actual new hires:
* HR software that posts the same job on every board inflates the apparent total
* Use of recruiters and posting a job as the employer results in duplicate job postings
* Illegal immigrants take many low skill positions through recruiters, so citizens see no apparent hiring from job postings
* Internal job positions are reserved for existing staff but they have to post externally in the name of fairness, so the position is designed to be impossible for anyone but the existing staffer
