a few reasons to list job ad when not seriously hiring:
1. collect resumes for when you are hiring
2. to look like a healthy, growing company even if you aren't
3. to find people who are desperate who you can underpay (smaller owner-run companies are more guilty of this)
4. to lure in people with a more interesting job ad than what the company really needs, then try to convince the candidate to fill a position for a less desirable or lower paying job
