Are there any technical recruiters in here? Whats the tea?!?

Whats the deal with these companies? Are they posting fake jobs ? Hiring from within? Openly discriminating? What is it? I cant help but assume recruiters are taking a hit too because they are turning down literally EVERYONE. So who are they actually hiring ?

Can any recruiters actually tell us about a success story about a recent candidate you recruited that got through the hiring process ?
