Historically hiring tech workers is really hard, especially for small companies. Applications trickle in. Good candidates are 10% of the pool at best.
"evergreen" job postings keep a pool of applicants that can quickly be drawn from when headcount is open. If headcount isn't filled quickly, hiring managers may lose the head count, so they are optimizing for fast hiring.

Staff that will burn thousands of combined hours of other people in order to save themselves a day or two are a HUGE RED FLAG! Businesses that think that is perfectly reasonable are toxic AF.
