Note that many companies are pretending to hire in order to look successful/growing. They might be willing to hire if some unicorn candidate comes along, but in practice the job ad is just marketing.

Saw that article a while back where even Glassdoor was admitting something like a third of their job posts were probably ghost jobs. I think that's hurting everyone though, all for the same reasons.
I think it's basically become de rigueur, standard HR advice at this point. The the amount of fake job listings is off the charts, to the point you should assume it's fake until proven otherwise (on this side of the pond anyway)
It is funny how 10 years ago, this situation would be perfect for some startup to disrupt the market but they just don't come anymore. Innovation is dead.
Yeah I never apply to job ads these days unless I already know someone at the company. It's a complete waste of effort.
