Questions about job seeking companies continues

Job vacancy NUMBERS have like doubled. A huge spike in the graph.

But people applying for jobs aren't getting even interviews.

Some say it has to do with companies and PPP loans:

"I’ve applied for 350 jobs as a graduating senior with a BS in economics and certifications in project management and barely have gotten any interviews. I’ve gotten 5 different scam posts though!

"This is absolutely BS and is purely being used as justification for bailouts. The government is funding businesses to lie about their job numbers."

Someone else:

"IIRC some college professors had to send out upwards of 1000 applications to get interviews.

"I imagine the problem now is a lot similar to dating websites; where everyone is looking for the best of the best, without realizing that those top candidates or jobs are either half scams or interviewing what they think will be a great person, only to wind up ghosted and the position left open because that top person they turned everyone else down for found something better.

"Rather than picking good or even GREAT candidates, they just siphon out a ton of people on the assumption that the sheer volume of resumes they have means the cream of the crop will TOTALLY settle for them and not wind up somewhere else by the time they've sorted all the resumes and sent out responses to those top candidates."
