  • I can see from your reaction that you do not have a lot of experience with this type of thing. Not meaning to be insulting but your comment feels really naive. Jobs sometimes take 6+ months to come to a place where you can post it and get interviews. During that time lots of things can happen. In this case they needed a system administrator and during the 6 months it takes for HR to do their thing, we were given a mandate that we had to change direction as a whole and move out of the Datacenter and into the Azure cloud.

    So now we needed a system admin with Azure experience but our original job did not make that a requirement. They kept the job posting and interviews in hopes that one of the people they initially selected would be a fit but sadly none of them had exposure to Azure so we had to start over.


  • It’s probably more nuanced than the research can show. At my work, we had a job posting and interviews and selected candidates but the job description was written long before and the management wanted a different skill set (needed more Azure experience) and so basically that job posting never came to be. It’s still being reworked and maybe it’ll actually produce an FTE but it’s a fake job posting that wasn’t meant to be.
