Hello, I’m hoping someone can give context for what I’m seeing on LinkedIn:

1. The same roles reposted every week, with some listings re-posted again and again for months
2. Most have little, or even no, applicants, at least according to LinkedIn
3. Several of these roles, which are FTE, are listed in tandem on the Meta contracting website
4. The contracting website gives me a sense of when these FTE roles must have first been posted: most have been open for several months (3+)

Is Meta having difficulties finding people to hire for marketing, or non-tech in general? Or is there a different explanation?

Thanks in advance!

  • I’m starting interview rounds, starting with Hiring Manager this week. Recruiter told me the role had been posted for 3 months and they haven’t found the right candidate for the role yet. So they expanded the available locations to help find the right candidate. For what it’s worth, I was referred by a level 7 in the same field of the role I’m interviewing.

  • They have no problem waiting for the right candidate and will keep reposting

  • I talked with a recruiter... They have 1,000-2,000 applicants for many job posts... probably just reposted until it's all done and offer is accepted. But I don't know why they keep promoting on LinkedIn if they have that much. I doubt they even consider anyone for Marketing that didn't come through as a referral with numbers like that.

      OP
      That is a ton of applications 😯 I agree, it does seem unnecessary to re-post those job openings with so many candidates already applying, let alone do paid promotions for them.
