Re: Hiring, but it's a secret?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Possible reasons usually include:

1.  Recruiter trying to keep client company identity secret (less likely 
if the entire posting is anonymous; recruiters usually put their names 
on listings).

2.  Company is doing hiring on its own and doesn't want to be flooded 
with phone calls and drop-ins.

3.  Company doesn't want outsiders to know it is expanding or working on 
something new.

4.  Company is looking for replacement for someone who doesn't know 
he/she is going to be replaced.
