U.S. News & World Report interview questions

Phone screen and then meeting with C-suite legal dep't. Questions were relevant enough to the position and executive was engaging. HOWEVER, interview can be filed under "Sham" -- no feedback/update provided by screener when requested to do so over a week after the interview, and job listing was re-posted around that time on job board(s) despite having a stated timeline of starting a candidate that next month. Fast forward four (4) months, job is now re-listed on job board(s). Again. What is going on, other than wasting candidates' time ??

The interview process was fairly standard, starting with an introductory conversation with the hiring manager, followed by meetings with team members; also includes a detailed case study in between that takes 2-4 hours.
