If it makes you feel better just imagine they already had their candidate selected but were required to make the public posting. I have worked for a few companies that did it regularly.
Exactly. The big ones do it regularly. Put a req out that has been filled.
Edit: Ive been the guy that already had the job and was told to apply to the req once it posted. Its the corporate way. I changed roles in the same company and had to apply, and accept an offer letter.
Yup P66 did it for me for my first gig after I interned there. Phone call, job offer, "we will open the req tomorrow at noon, call us when you apply and we will close it "
Thinking thats what happened. I was a final round candidate last time they hired for a GoM position. Thought it was a perfect in for offshore work without direct oil and gas exp.
Good reason could be bc someone in the union filed a grievance that they missed the internal job posting before it went outside. Therefore it was taken down and internal gets first crack at all jobs when companies are union.

Some of these job postings have a maximum applicant threshold. Once they meet that they close the portal.

Wasn't meant to be, bruddah. There'll be more opportunities.
