[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their HR is probably slow and haven’t updated the system to reflect that the position is no longer open. My old company’s HR used to do that all the time - we’d have an accepted offer and the position would still show as open and accepting applications on the website. [/quote]

I think this is the most likely situation.  I worked for Hopkins many years ago.  I got my jobs on an insider track (I was referred by people on the inside in the department that was looking and they reviewed my resume and talked to me before the job was officially posted by HR).  In the interim, I have worked at a lot of IT companies (primarily federal contracting companies).  In many cases, the HR department was bogged down and this situation has happened often, both for positions I interviewed for and positions where I was the hiring manager.  The web-site is run by HR and sometimes filled positions would be left open.  As a hiring manager, I have been sent resumes for "qualified candidates" after I have filled the position and I have to remind the HR staff that I have filled the position and they need to take the posting down.
