Why is hiding the jobs necessary? I applied for one of these jobs years ago.

The recruiter told, "I have no idea how you applied for this job, but its not available for you. let me have you interview a different, but similar, role."

What was I supposed to do other than say, "ok! Send over the other job description."?

Because they'd gave to commit outright fraud with no plausible deniability if they have to hide US Citizens applications for jobs they've earmarked for current immigrant employees' PERM. Hiding the jobs gives them deniability.

That would force a career change to become a political grifter. Might work for you, but not for many.

I’m not sure why. Because they’re usually at salaries that you wouldn’t accept. Like paying 30% below market rate.

They don't have to answer this. The lady told me the job posting was in a "weird system" and quickly moved the conversation to other open roles.
