Doesn't hurt them either I don't think. Nobody knows. It sucks because the whole job hunting system is borked.

  If 500 people apply for a fake job and don’t get to an interview or personal response stage, then when they need a real job filling they’ve already wiped out a lot of applicants who won’t bother applying next time.

    I doubt that's how it works out. Last time I was looking I applied so many places I can't remember most of them.

      Presumably you’re not putting much effort then?

  > Doesn't hurt them either I don't think. Well those are 3000 resumes that won't be resubmitted when you actually want to hire. Many of those resumes will belong to people who since found work. Weeding through that would be a nightmare, so you'd have to toss it and write it off as a loss. Or you could just post jobs when you're actually interested in hiring and turn it off when you have enough applications to process. Super interested candidates can always cold email.

    They don't care about those 3k and they could reach out. And maybe next round they do apply again. I sure don't remember when I last was applying who I applied for except some big names that ... yeah I'd submit it again if I was looking. I don't like the system, but I don't think they're hurt by it.
