Companies will sometimes post job ads even if they're not looking for someone, I suspect

  That happens because they want to look like growth opprtunities even if they are not growing.

    Maybe, but not always. My company keeps a req open on the off chance somebody in the domain (CAD data translation) will see it and apply. It's a small enough niche that if somebody with the right skillset comes along we'd like a chance to hire them, even if we're not in dire need of people at that particular moment. I guess technically we're passively looking.

      You are hiring. The companies I'm talking about are not looking at any resumes they get in.

      In other shops it is sometimes used as a safety if someone spontaneously decides to go.. one local place puts out lots of feeler reqs around bonus time (as that is when most jump)
