"Well we just want a big pool of candidates in case this person doesn't work out."
Those companies can get a building dropped on them. Cannot tell you how many positions I've applied for only to be told "oh we filled that two months ago and didn't take the listing down".
Ya, that shit is infuriating. I used to work for a very small company in an area that is dominated by oil companies and all the associated companies that support them. It was really hard for us to compete for people with experience.
I had to cut out a 30 minute rant about why it sucks to try to hire in an oil dominated market... Sigh
The short of it was that we so rarely had the "perfect" candidate for a given position that it was actually really painful on the very rare occasions that we had more than one that was perfect.
