In general, people have numerous reasons for posting fake ads for applicants.

I would say the signal-to-noise ratio is so low now, that entry level positions at any firm are impossible for domestic applicants.

* Contract rules in institutions that show your faculty interviewed at minimum 3 external applicants before tabling your preferences

* Corporate youth-employment tax credits that incentivize purging anyone over 32 to save money

* Immigration scams that need to show at least 5 domestic workers don't qualify for the company needs (usually list proprietary internal software and languages the public never hears about...)

* Staffing agencies posting nonexistent positions to run a lead-generation scheme, and legally exclude applicants from their product pool via a contract catch-22

* 10% of your towns population arrived in the past 3 years, and understandably will say/do anything to get their Visa secured

* Cons illegally farming data for their AI/LLM project, and various other scams

We need more investment bankers and CEOs that work for regular wages.
