In academia (my line of work) theyâre required to have positions posted and open for a certain amount of time, interview a certain number of applicants, etc.
In theory, itâs for equal opportunity and finding the best person for the job.
In practice, itâs a waste of time, money, and hope.
Likely corporate and/or legal politics. I would imagine things not unlike EEOP loopholing would play a big role in it. (Yes, govâment we are offering this opening to âanyoneâ. So, send that funding check right over)

Itâs because of anti-discrimination laws. In some US states it can be illegal to hire someone for a position without posting it publicly. The concern is that if youâre not posting the job publicly, it can be because you want to prevent certain people from applying.
When you do post it publicly, the company can demonstrate that they allowed anyone to apply, show records that they considered multiple people for the job, and then decided on the internal candidate the best fit. No room for a discrimination lawsuit.
