I worked at a large company. My manager told me there's a legal requirement to post jobs publicly even though the position was intended for internal hiring. I don't know how true this is. If it is true, this could explain some of the 'ghost jobs'.
- al_borland 2y agoI’ve heard of this before as well. I’ve actually looked at applying for some internal jobs and was told not to bother, because it was the posting for a certain person. Had it happen for me once as well. A new team was being formed that I was part of. I was given a certain job post ID to apply for that was meant for me. Some people got upset, because they were told to apply for a level 2 position, when they saw a level 3 or 4 position was also out there that they wanted to go for… but the decisions had already been made.

If so, other people probably didn't have much of a chance. Although I had some interviews, I don't think I ever even applied to the job through the online system.
- al_borland 2y agoThat makes me wonder if another one of my promotions was posted. My interview was the manager walking up to me while I was standing off to the side in the lunchroom waiting for someone else, and he simply said, “if anyone asks, I interviewed you.” He then walked away and I had a promotion.
