I recently saw a job advertisement for a front office role at a major bank that literally included the person's name.

They'd already printed up name placards for Sam Fakename, so it was really important that they could reuse those for the next candidate.
They didn't list the name as a requirement, but they said Firstname will be working on X, Y, and Z.

I assume the person writing the advertisement just forgot that they're technically looking for a local candidate.

I 100% believe you, but just for entertainment value, assuming the posting was public and recent -- any chance you have a link to the posting that you can share with us? I need a good laugh today.
