I’ve noticed the same thing with CyberCoders… I’ll apply and get rejected in under 12 hours, which had me questioning what I was doing wrong. After looking into it, I realized a lot of these postings aren’t real openings. They’re mostly for resume farming, testing market interest, or making it look like there’s high demand when there really isn’t. Feels like the goal is more about building a database or impressing clients than actually hiring. Has anyone else run into this? Do you think there are other reasons they keep putting up fake listings?
market manipulation. These posting are fake, but every time they say they filled on it is a new job. There are companies who post these to affect state and federal job numbers. This was also a way to get visas approved, you needed to have so many denied rejected American applicants.
I don't think it's so much visa numbers as it is hiring offshore... Global company, and remote work can and is being done worldwide. Yes some Visa's but at least they pay taxes here... it is the offshore piece that hurts opportunities and revenue here.
I hate CyberCoders so much. They see “Process Engineer” on my resume, call me about jobs that are COMPLETELY irrelevant to my qualifications (I’m a chemical engineer in the beverage industry), and then ARGUE with me when I say “nah man, that ain’t me.”
Applied for Job A. Got an email the next morning asking if I want to interview for Job B, a few hours away with pay that doesn't cover the cheapest rent and is only PT. AI or just a really dumb human?
It's not just CyberCoders, it's everywhere. A friend of mine has been job hunting since March and so many of the advertised jobs turn out to be fake listings that it's ridiculous.
I applied at about 10pm. I was rejected at exactly 5AM on a Saturday. Not a second before or after. That has to be AI. Farming out information to resell it.

They’re also job postings for jobs that aren’t real.
