Unfortunately, a trend that I’ve seen in recent years is listed jobs that are not real opportunities. They may be either:

Listings intended to show investors, current employees, and others that the company is growing.

H1B required listings that are effectively taken.

Positions that executives want filled so the manager lists them with no intention of actually hiring anyone.

I’m sure there are many other reasons why applications are not getting a serious review.
