Hiring for the same position over and over could mean high turnover or it could mean a growing company. To take this to an extreme: Google aren’t constantly hiring software engineers because they have one software engineer role and everyone quits mere seconds after starting.

There's also attempting to grow despite a high turnover, not at all uncommon with dominant marketing/sales departments and oppressed actually working peons.
