Sadly some 'jobs' post positions just to collect resumes and sell the data. Just kicking us while we're down really ๐ฎโ๐จ
Happens a LOT on LinkedIn. Be wary of recruiters who seem to immediately want your resume and nothing else before providing you with information.
Not just resumes either. I went through 2 interviews for a company, and then was suddenly ghosted after they'd collected the data they needed. They reached out to me, offering a position and when I told them how much I wanted for it (I didn't realize I'd told them less than they had it listed for, since I hadn't seen their job openings before being reached out to) they ghosted me and updated their job posting to match my desired pay
Similar thing happened to me. Got interviewed, told them my salary expectation, they turned me down and immediately published a new upper bound for the job's salary which just happened to be exactly 1000 โฌ less per year than what I had asked for.
1000 is a bargain, I asked for $10.4k less than what they were offering and they ran with it
Lol restaurants don't have time for that shit. Who would buy that kind of data from a restaurant anyway? Even if you had more than 200 applicants a month that would probably net you less than $10.
If it's a chain I could definitely see corporate setting up some automated system to do that.
doesn't need a chain. many companies save money offloading the application process to an external website, and that one manages it for a lot of different companies and then sells your data
But then the restaurant would be paying for that service, not making money from it. They probably wouldn't even be aware the data was being sold.
