Not sure I understand what you are denouncing ? The fake vacancies I had in mind are not so malicious. But for the candidates, in aggregate, they are a waste of precious time and energy. - Company has still opportunities on their website, in order to look healthy, when they are in fact laying everybody off (as is the case in the OP) - Company publishes an offer for legal reasons, but in fact wants to hire a cheaper resource from abroad once they've "proven" that they "couldn't get any local talent" - Company publishes non-urgent offer, in the hope to fish for resumes, and/or waits for years for the "perfect" talent to knock on their door - Company forgot to take down vacancy, someone got hired 3 months ago
