      Quiet hirings are a thing now too…

      Companies are putting up postings for positions they don’t have any intention of filling any time soon.

      This way when they are ready to hire, they finally look at resumes and can start scheduling interviews ASAP. It’s shifting all the wait time of the process to applicants.

      Combine the two, and you end up with companies being able to maintain bare minimum staffing regardless of workload without having to ever pay severance packages.

      It’s actually really smart, as long as you don’t have the tiniest shred of empathy and think of workers as machines and not people.
