That's not always true. Sometimes they have up a "Senior Engineer" listing that just always stays up because they are always hiring for that role.

  That's extremely rare, especially right now.

  "always hiring" in the same way anyone would hire, say, Steve Wozniak if he knocked on your door. I think one regulation to resolve this is to outline a term on when you expect to fill the role, in order to delineate between "we need this role right now" (AKA, "urgent hire"), "we want to fill it in 1-3 months", and "nice to have but no rush" postings. It'd give a better signals to workers and make it easier to call fraud if they are "urgently hiring" but repost the same thing 5 months in a row.

    That's a nice theory but in reality many things could conspire to prevent you from hiring on schedule: lack of qualified applicants, changing business strategy, reduced budget, etc. It would be hard to tell from the outside whether lack of adherence to the schedule was due to malfeasance or "stuff happens."

      >It would be hard to tell from the outside whether lack of adherence to the schedule was due to malfeasance or "stuff happens." Sure. That's why they get audited for their recruitment like anything else in business. I'm not saying to bring the hammer down, just to have a better excuse than "well we're always hiring!"
