Two adverts, diff locale...bogus?

If this really is the case, how do companies like Noir Consulting stay in business. I'm sure not all their adverts are fake roles, but it appears that they've had the same batch of generic jobs, repeated weekly for at least the last couple of years ...

It could be that they have a different operating model:

Pay £300 to display a suitably enticing advert.

Tell everyone they look good and ask them to submit their CV. You land 200 CVs where you can then skills match the last 3 jobs of each person to your CV database and you've potentially got 600 sales mailshots. Progressive *allegedly* used to use it as a tactic or even a strategyy years ago. You as a candidate won't know where your CV has gone (unlike me, who had mine land back on my own desk as an ideal candidate for a vacant role elsewhere in the team...)

No email or phone/contact from pimp, so I'd surmise it was CV harvesting. Thank you for nothing, Hydrogen Group.

Confirmed as CV harvesting, they are now both expired on jobswerve which is very quick.

Just for future reference, it's not always the case....

It could be that the client has asked their preferred agency to be cagey about the exact location as this would identify them and lead to a bunch of non-preferred pimps deluging them with unwanted applicants.

For this reason, roles at Drax don't say Selby. They'll advertise 2 different roles albeit with the same agency, contact details and description. One will be in Leeds, the other York. I assumed fishing at first and ignored it but the pimp contacted me and when challenged painted the above scenario. It seems plausible since there's F-all else in Selby.

Seems plausible, a bit like when Barclays at Radbroke are hiring - the number of times you see Manchester and then it isn't so you have to change your rate to factor in more than a 15 minute commute.
