I think its all in the plan....make it seem like nobody is willing to work and wallaaa...usher in more illegals to fill the “need”....
Years ago I long suspected that a lot of these job postings were legit jobs but the employer had no intention of considering resumes they might get from these ads because they already had in mind who they wanted to hire. I suspect those jobs were posted only to cover their butts with EEO.
I used to submit my resume to job after job, week aftwr week, for a couple of years and hardly got any responses.
I had to eventually rely on recruiting firms but atleast I finally got my foot in the door and I would have to temp for a while but it eventually worked.
I remember someone at a job I worked at nearly 20 years ago tell me about ghost jobs after I told them about a job I saw in a newspaper and was near where I lived. I drove by the site but did not see what was advertised and that is when he explained.
Most on-line application programs look for key words that match the required criteria. Check the job description and put those words in your resume. Works like a charm.

AFAIK, here in the U.S., employers receive tax credits for hiring veterans, ex-felons, and welfare recipients. This probably only helps them get hired for minimum wage jobs, though. I don't know whether it applies for non-citizens.
Was done a lot for H1b hiring. Saw that @10 years ago.
Maybe it’s just a matter of you thinking you’re qualified for those jobs but aren’t.
Somebody has a masters degree in women’s studies.
And there you have it. Companies want workers. I post for a technician and get 50 resumes talking all about their management experience. I can train a worker to manage. I can't train a manager to work.
Bingo.
They want skilled work. An MBA says you don’t want to do the actual work, just manage everything - of which there are far fewer jobs. If you don’t already have extensive management experience an MBA isn’t a plus. If you do, you’ll be looking for more rare openings for higher level positions.
It’s similar to having a PhD, for most good jobs you’re overqualified and it is a negative. You need to fill a very specific role.
A STEM masters degree is a sweet spot.
This might work, but as a panel interviewer at a big tech company, I can tell you that the candidate quality of those who do make it past recruiting has been abysmal the last few months. We’re getting candidates who know nothing about our platforms and aren’t afraid to say so.
Probably just being overlooked because he’s white (and male).
I’ve seen that (where company policy requires posting the job, but the manager already had an unemployed friend waiting for the job). No interviews, just run the ad a bit and hire the friend.
“They keep their job ads posted so that they always have ready applicants whenever an employee inevitably quits.”
That seems to be the modus operandi with the McJobs in my area; same employers listing the same low-paying, high-stress jobs....
The future of the economy demands everyone stop hiring and be prepared to lay off large blocks. It’s the current economy and the unified conclusion of nearly everyone concerning the future economy.
Not just the US, the entire civilized world.
After many decades in the professional work force, I’ve found that the absolute best tactic is to have a lot of people who know you personally.
I got my current job because the manager had gone to school with a friend of mine.
Including Quebecers?
Exactly, there’s more than enough work for laborers. What this guy wants isn’t actually work, its just a sit down on your ass all day ‘job’.
Applying for a job online sounds like a half-assed, lazy approach to me.
If you have a skill, or knowledge that could benefit a company that needs someone with that skill, show up in person, act like you want the job, and you’ll likely get it.
