"The truly infuriating part was that I consistently talked to them asking for progress and they always told me that they had some candidates that didn't pass the first screening processes (which was false)."

The real reason they got fired. A typo caused their system to reject all applicants and for 3 months - an honest mistake maybe, yet nobody thought anything was wrong, then lied about having found candidates at all.

That's not a typo - they were looking for people with a skill set in a non-existent software, because HR are lazy bureaucrats who can't be bothered to understand what their company is actually looking for.

Details, specificity matter, and too many people in the world can't be bothered to put the effort into understanding the details.

In almost every interview I've ever been on for IT, I've had to educate the first interviewer on what they're actually looking for, because their listed requirements found me, but after interrogating them about the position I found the requirements to be very different.

One additional detail of import: this entire story is based off of a single Reddit post, so take it with a Himalayan quarry of salt.
