For those curious, a common method is to publish the job listing in the newspaper classifieds.

This is what my old employer did to sponsor the visa for the company’s CTO.

Newspapers are used for a surprising number of various public announcements. E.g. in New York you must publish a notice in a newspaper for 6 weeks (or something like that) when establishing a LLC.

There’s something to be said for reading the paper even in 2025! Although I suppose the notices are probably also online..

Usually it’s a newspaper in the middle of nowhere too, in fine print, in the classifieds.

A newspaper of record is in theory something you are “supposed” to continually read, but it’s kind of like saying you’re “supposed” to know all the laws of the land. While probably true, no one actually can or would do that.

I've also seen this done when the hiring manager, or someone else in the process, already has a candidate to hire and needs to post the job listing for legal cover.

In Poland a while ago, a basketball club submitted an opening to local labor office, looking for "basketball player with 5 years of NBA experience".
