I've seen this done for less nefarious reasons, whereby a company will keep advertising for positions, but just not hire anyone. This is because not advertising jobs is a strong negative signal that business is in trouble.

And plenty of places will find a budget, even if there isn't one ordinarily, for an extraordinary candidate.

But, as was pointed out above, this isn't a money-saving exercise, this is giving up on a field.

Maybe they just let go of whoever was keeping that page up to date.

That's a pretty incriminating statement, do you have any proof?

Removed, thanks. Don't want to land in hot water.
