Working in some hiring-tech stuff right now, there are systems where the business-domain/database-model explicitly incorporates "evergreen" job postings, meaning ones that are left up constantly often because the company really is always hiring due to high turnover.

In other words, there are some legitimate reasons for a job posting to be indefinite, even if it doesn't seem common for software engineering jobs in particular.

If it doesn't explicitly say it's an evergreen/non-urgent position, I'd still penalize it.

But sure, that doesn't happen often in tech because they would hire a consultant or a specialized contractor for such roles of its necessary and very specialized.

If a company has that much perpetual churn, it's a bad sign, even if it's not the same bad sign.

What about the typical college summer jobs? Those have high turnover and that is expected.

there are plenty of industries that revolve around seasonal jobs. Retail, tourism, sports, entertainment, agriculture or even politics.

Churn could mean many things, not necessarily a bad sign

Also tons of places that interview then say they don’t have a slot.

Seems too easy to be abused.
