Why it matters
Phrases like 'always looking for great talent', 'join our talent pool', or 'future opportunities' are honest in a way applicants miss: they describe resume collection, not an open seat. Your application feeds a database, not an interview loop.
What it looks like
'We're always hiring!', 'Join our talent community', 'for current and future openings', 'building a pipeline of candidates'.

What to do about it
