This is a guest post past Lavie Margolin.

Anybody's felt this.

You conduct an Internet job search and notice a job that is the perfect fit for yous.

You apply, but get no response…

Nothing shocking, I know.

Only so, as yous continue searching, you lot continue seeing the same job that yous are supremely qualified for, posted in diverse online outlets for months and months.

Argh! Why is this happening?

It may be frustrating, but there are actually several reasons, and information technology may have null to exercise with how qualified you or whatsoever of the other applicants are.

Why The Task You Desire is Still Posted Months Subsequently

1. The position has a high turnover charge per unit and in order to ensure a fresh puddle of candidates, the job is constantly advertised.

2. The visitor has not yet constitute the right candidate for the job.

three. The company thought they found the right candidate but information technology did not work out and the search is now reopened.

4. The job will be filled internally just company has to source external candidates.

The corporate world is often guilty of this.

5. The job has officially been put on hold but resumes are being accepted until the job opens upwards again.

6. The visitor will not be reviewing resumes until a certain deadline has passed and is trying to gather as many resumes every bit possible.

7. In that location is no job currently. Companies sometimes post jobs that are already filled to have potential candidates available if a similar task is needed at some signal.

8. Recruiters are looking to fill up multiple job opportunities at the same time so it is non the same job being posted but like jobs that need to exist filled.

9. The job posting was not officially airtight fifty-fifty though the job has been filled.

10. Recruiters post phantom jobs in order to acquit salary surveys.

11. The advertizing infinite for the listing was purchased for a specific corporeality of time and information technology will run until that fourth dimension period has expired.

12. The person initially hired was moved into some other position and the job is now open.

13. Job websites aggregate postings from i another. The visitor is not actually re-posting the position but one website is taking a listing from some other.

fourteen. The same chore is being posted by multiple staffing agencies.

15. The job listing directs you to apply on the company website, edifice traffic and visibility for the business. In effect, it'due south more an ad for the company itself as opposed to the job described.

Bonus

xvi. The visitor simply and annoyingly forgot to remove the job posting.

17. Equally an excuse to make it await every bit if they can't fill up demand locally. (Thanks to Eric Berger)

18. It takes time to onboard hires

@jacobshare @Laviemarg You forgot one reason: the job doesn't generally close until a candidate is entered into the HRIS; later offering is made, the candidate needs to complete their onboarding process by logging in via their profile; this can take a couple of weeks.

Hopefully this provides a peak behind the curtain as to why things are being washed the style they are.
