I had an initial phone screening with a recruiter. Conversation went well and at the end of the screening, I asked her about other opportunities at the company only for her to disclose that they posted the same job with different titles to see how many applicants they could get. I think companies should be fined for things like this especially in this job market where people are applying for multiple roles within one company. Its definitely a red flag in my opinion and I'm honestly happy I wasn't selected to move forward.

I had an initial phone screen for the role. I felt the conversation went really well despite being nervous. At the end I mentioned if not chosen for this particular role I applied for other positions and would love to be considered for those and the recruiter told me the other roles I applied for were basically the same as the one I was currently interviewing for they just changed the titles to see how many applicants they could get. In this market I don't think companies should do that because its messing with people's emotions and giving applicants a false sense of hope.
