a lot of job listings are fake, yes. as in their is a legit job, but the person they will hire for it will be someone’s kid who already works there, or another insider.

My experience feels kinda like getting a job I apply to is easy but 99% of adverts are fake.
If I hear back from them I will have a high chance of getting the job, but almost never hear back from them.

Why do they do this? Just hire that person if you are going to anyway.
Worked in companies where the owners family for hired for multiple roles. As long as they are not incompetent I don’t really care that they didn’t send out fake job adverts. If they were incompetent then fake job ads won’t help.

Hiring someone without interviewing anyone else isn’t discrimination

I know places that I worked for or kept an eye on after interviewing and reaching final stages (talking to founders) doing exactly that
Place A (I worked for): 13 job entries permanently open although they are not hiring and didn’t hire a new person in over 2 years
Place B (I worked for): 1 job entry looking the same for the past 7 years, last one hired for that position started 3 years ago
Place C (open source project with enough funding to hire people): 2 positions permanently open but didn’t hire in 3 years (Rotki)
Place D (similar to C): 4 jobs (CVAT)
Place E (failed Open source + enterprise plan project): 1 job (SuperduperDB)
(I can’t disclose the first 2 for obvious reasons)
So it feels this how it’s gonna be now I guess
