… So its just doing what HR/Recruiters do.
Professionally gaslighting people and wasting their time.
Its just that the process is ironically slightly more transparent now.
They’ve been doing this with ‘shadow jobs’ and ‘fake job postings’ for literally years now, last time I saw a survey on it, between a 1/3 and 1/2 of them just said they do this.
You post job openings that you never intend on filling for a wide variety of reasons.
Make the company look better in some kind of internal or external report that considers job postings.
Make it so you can promote somebody internally with a sham external round of interviews but its still ‘competetive’.
Literally just do market research on the labor force itself, gather up a roster, or sell the info to data brokers.
And of course, interview processes that require you essentially do a project for them… before they hire you. And then you do it an aw shucks, almost nailed it, but we went with another candidate.
But there is no other candidate. And your project is now being used by them.
…etc.
How it feels to be alive lately.

about:extensions in Firefox mobile, there's nothing about this in about:support, I can only do a whack-a-mole game of disabling/uninstalling a random extension until the notification stops appearing.
