I thought that's because Corporate wants to show that they are doing good, in fact so good that they look for employees. Probably Hanlon's Razor applies: «Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.» In other words, it's a mixture of laziness, some need for employees but not following through, rigid software for job applications, corporate politics and plain stupidity. I imagine one example how it might happen more or less like this: - A product owner sees that their team is overworked - They ask for a job opening or just enter the job description in the software - They get shot down by someone higher up or they are replaced or fired themselves - The process starts anyway and nobody is responsible for incoming applications
