We, job seekers, should react against it. We should post their names here. There are a lot of posts like that on HN's Who's Hiring. One of the most obvious examples is MixRank [0]. On the last jobs thread, they reposted [1] the same job advertisement they've been bot-posting for almost 2 years. It is identical. And HN doesn't even allow us to flag/report this abuse. Other companies that do the same: Cargado, Aha!,... HN's "Who's Hiring" is turning into a trap.

In the MixRank posting, did you see this section? It looks like they added it after receiving similar criticism. > We're hiring continuously for the positions below— they aren't singular positions that will close once filled. Our philosophy on hiring is that the candidate is more important than the position. For each new member of the team, we design a custom role and responsibilities that are specialized to their interests. Other companies will come up with a long list of specific requirements for a position with the expectation that you'll exactly replace someone from the team, or that you'll be the perfect tetris piece that satisfies the job requirements decided by a committee. MixRank is more pragmatic: we'll first get excited about having a unique individual on the team, then we'll figure out the best way to accommodate their specific talents.
