Don't forget Ghost jobs and all the temp/recruitment agencies out there, but I did forget the "I never hire anyone" bit until your comment prompted me to check the pic again. Also, listings that only exist certain nepotism or racial/class hires, but they stild have to interview x number of excluded candidates for appearances' sake.

Personally, there were a few times I was head-hunted by what turned out to be middlemen trying to fill a quota. No in-person interviews, but to say the jobs they were recruiting for were a bad fit for my public credentials would be an understatement.

I assure you, corporate non-sense knows no bounds, and I'm happy for you, that you've had the luck to avoid encountering some of the worst and most demoralizing of it.
