Those are posted signs but do you know anyone who was offered that. They could just post that to look like they’re not avoiding hiring.

Well this is HN, so I'd hazard to guess that most people don't know many people who take those jobs. >They could just post that to look like they’re not avoiding hiring. Seems like a conspiracy theory to me unless there's some sort of evidence that they're ignoring applications.

- fundad 5y agoProfit. They need to recoup Covid losses with higher prices and smaller staff.
- unmole 5y agoWhat you're saying is: 1. Pretend like you're hiring staff 2. ??? 3. Profit What is happening in step 2 that is leading to step 3? And more importantly, why does step 2 need step 1?
- fundad 5y ago“higher prices and smaller staff“
- unmole 5y agoAgain, why do they need to pretend to hire people? They can just keep the smaller staff.
- fundad 5y agoI didn't say it was some evil strategy but those signs aren't just for potential candidates, they know customers see them too. I think the appearance that the service industry is working harder at hiring than they are is an effort to justify higher prices to customers. Remember demand has kept up despite higher prices and in many cases reduction to quality of service. Doing the same thing is the natural state for a business operator, even if they want to hire they may not have time to interview. There is no benefit to taking signs down in that case when every other restaurant has them up.
