Here's a link to the story:

It's strange that there's no comment from the company.

Thank you! I really, really hate this trend of posting a screenshot of a headline or part of an article. Why not post a link to the actual article?

Yeah, that's not so strange.

The job posting by Ashburn-based Arthur Grand Technologies Inc. was published in March 2023 and said that the company was only looking for “U.S. Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates],” according to a Justice Department news release.

I'm telling you, these job replies from HR have gotten pretty cryptic, but I send out what they tell me to send. It's not my job to understand, just to send the emails.

"Dear [Candidate],

We regret to inform you that [Company Name] is no longer hiring for the position of [job title]. Thank you for your interest in [Company Name].

Sincerely, [Your Name]"
