> I just think it's an even bigger pain in the ass than dating. It’s even worse compared with modern dating apps. Like dating apps, I can’t even trust that job

  >I can’t even trust that job applications are real and actually interested in finding someone. I got burned by this recently. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn about a job opening at a company I had previously been interested in joining. One phone screening and one Teams call with two different external recruiters later I was informed that the company wasn't even hiring for that role. Of course this was partially on me. If I had looked at the careers section of their website I would have seen that the role I was applying for wasn't listed.

  Yeah I had the same thought. I get the feeling there are more than a few places out there posting jobs just to gather massive amounts of resumes with no intent to contact anyone.

    My meat grinder has about 500 companies, 200+ I touch every three months. There are a lot of companies with same / similar ads for extended periods. Some of them I've applied to, and discovered after they'd been in the meat grinder for a while. Wish I could do something with that info. A deadpool where the posting that's been up the longest wins the daily pool?
