Holy hell. Those are the things they're willing to admit? Then what the fuck do they still have in hiding?

In some jurisdictions, you can't hire foreign workers unless there are no local workers that meet the job requirements. Posting a fake position with the intent to deny all candidates is usually sufficient to demonstrate that an attempt was made to search for local talent. They can't admit it without getting into a lot of trouble, however.

But is it a fake position if you intend to fill it with a foreign worker?

Hey now. These companies are made of people.
