A friend told me today that HR doesn't always remove job listings in a timely manner even if the job has been filled.
He said he found a job at a large company, so he applied for it online. Days after it, through a friend of a friend who works there, he checked into it to find out who the hiring manager was. Turns out the job was already filled a month before he even applied for it yet the job posting is still there online on the company website even today!
He joked he's waiting for an e-mail from HR to tell him he wasn't selected for the position because they found someone else who was a better match. Which would be a lie, because the job was filled even before he applied for it.

You seem to be surprised. HR is useless for the most part.
I got a turn down letter from HR from the company that hired me and was already a week or two into the job. From the woman in HR who interviewed me before being interviewed by the person who would be my boss.
Another time got a turn down letter when I applied for another internal position for a company I had been working at for 5 years, and thanking me for my interest in their company....I took that right to the head of HR.

He most likely will get that email.
I'm surprised because HR is using HR software to track and close the funnel for hiring. They post a job and track it through the entire process. Or they aren't using it properly. It seems that once a job has been filled, it would remove the listing from their website after a month. You'd think they would be annoyed enough to want to reduce useless job submissions when the job is already filled, since it presumably creates more work for them. The internal workings of HR must be far worse than many imagine.
HR functions are mostly all automated these days. Applying for jobs on career websites is like throwing your resume in the trash. It's the slowest and least effective way to get hired. Go direct.
HR has no power to make a new position that is not currently projected to open for a company. The executives have that power.
And the emails you get from HR are just automated pre-programmed responses that hold no meaning. Only time you get real communication from them is to arrange a time to interview or schedule a next step. Or when you get officially hired and go through the onboarding process.

Apparently they aren't automated enough to keep a job posting open and continue to accept applications for it on the company's website when it has already been filled a month ago.

That is just lazyness for not putting an end date or going back in to close it from being public.
I oftentimes see job postings from the same companies over and over again. It makes me wander if they just have a high turnover rate so they never take down the ad. I almost applied to a company where I saw this, but I knew someone who worked at the place and found through them that the owner of the company is a complete psycho apparently. She always keeps her sponsored ads up on Indeed. I STILL see them and now terrible reviews are starting to be written about the company.
