It's a real bummer interviewing these external applicants that you know won't get the job. Like I wish I could just let them know, but we're required to go through the entire interview process.

As someone in the inside, what's the rationale behind having to publicly post jobs like this? Why can't you just offer the job to the person you want to give it to?

In academia (my line of work) they’re required to have positions posted and open for a certain amount of time, interview a certain number of applicants, etc.

In theory, it’s for equal opportunity and finding the best person for the job.

In practice, it’s a waste of time, money, and hope.
