The video's description, channel and host trigger so many "this is a scam" alarms that I'm prevented to watch more than 2m. Does the guy at any point provides any kind of substantial proof that companies are actually doing that ? I'm curious what it could be. But maybe it's because my gig has a hard time _actually finding people to hire_ ...

  Pretty sure I found a bunch of fake jobs in my previous research (H2 2023). Best exemple was an SRE job where I'm a 95% match on the (long and specialized) job description, the 5% being some xp in HPC but they have a dedicated team and a separate job offer for HPC specialist, so that sounds fine. They tell me I "don't have enough experience with debian" and offer me to apply for the HPC job. I go and list them all the experience I have with every bullet point of the job offer, and mention that I've been using debian for 20 years and ask what specific skillset they are looking for. No answer except "all we can do is start the process for the HPC job". I ended up finding something else where I'm not particularly interested, have no prior experience, but I'm paid way more than my previous job and they seem to love my work despite it being very slow and frustrating. So I'm just going to stick to that, and give up on the idea of finding "the dream job". More recently I found an offer where they told me they have a "multiple month hiring process" and I stopped answering to emails, pretty sure it's fake as well.

      Not really, I burned out on interviews and I'm going to sit on this one for a bit ; I'm in France btw in case you had an opening.

  > seems there is something wrong with expectations (probably on both sides) It’s pay, on both sides. Maybe remote working too. People work for money, fake company “benefits” are a scam and people have caught up.

    Surprisingly, skill plays a part in recruiting, too ;) You're not _always_ looking to fill a position where good junior people can fit - that reduces the pool of acceptable applicants. (In theory, the market dynamics are supposed to eventually match expected skills vs desired benefits. I hope I'll soon get my passport to go live in theory.)

I actually saw a job posting that said at the very end "this is just an example". Previously it didn't have that line. So I'm guessing someone complained about being replaced and they had to put that line in there. Unfortunately they have since removed the job posting، It's a YC startup too
