Recruiting used to be an art. Now companies have outside recruiters list jobs for months and months and even years. In that time they get thousands of applicants and use the hired recruiters with their computers to scan the appls for the buzz words. They do that to thin the herd. In this shuffle the best applicants get lost. So they keep the job listed for more months. The whole thing is dysfunctional to say the least. Internet is great but we just have to know enough "not to throw the baby out with the bath water." That is exactly what has been done with the case of recruiting. That is not recruiting at all.
