But that approach means opening something like four job postings for every role (junior, mid, senior, principal) and suddenly closing the other three when you find someone. I don't know if this might fall foul of any job posting rules? Since basically three of the four postings are "fake" in the sense that you're only hiring one person. It's just that nobody knows ahead of time which of the four postings will end up being the real one.
- learc83 5y agoCompanies do this all the time. There’s generally no problem with it. We have an opening for an staff engineer at work, but we’d settle for a senior engineer. We definitely wouldn’t hire an unqualified person as staff and just pay them less. Or an overqualified person as senior and pay them way more. That just doesn’t make sense. Companies also routinely have permanently open positions without exact numbers of positions.
- asdff 5y agoI don't think you have to fully commit to hiring on every job posting you make. A lot of biotech jobs seem to have standing listing for these sorts of tiered roles (junior scientist I II III IIV, scientist I II III IV etc..) presumably because the applicants can be pretty stratified in biotech in experience and in degrees.
