Online postings, for those with the resources, can be easy to manage. Which means employers can post novel-length job descriptions and keep them open for months while they wait (in vain) for the perfect candidates. However, most hiring managers don’t know how to effectively use job-posting sites, and don’t get us started on the AI and algorithms that can be discriminatory and/or auto-pass qualified candidates who aren’t using enough “key words.”

Particularly at small or midsized companies, the HR department (if there is one at all) may be staffed by people who don’t have much experience writing job descriptions. Even at large companies with robust HR functions, they may struggle to understand the technical and “soft” skills that are required for every role. When they don’t know what skills to feature, they throw them all in.

HR's can be a disaster for companies in my experience. They are the gatekeepers of the company. If they suck at their job, then the company will hire the worst kind of people. The remaining good ones will get driven off.

If a company wants to flourish they have to make sure they have competent people in HR. The kind who have a good eye for people.

Bad HR = Bad company (eventually)

Good HR = Good company.

They are the ones who invite someone in.

If the guard at the door let's in thugs, criminals, and thieves, it won't be long before you'll find your home ransacked.
