Some IT service corporations that are known for a very high employee churn rates often post the same position a dozen times, for each of their office locations.

Sometimes it's a 100% remote job, and they still post it multiple times with different locations.

They probably litter job portals this way so that they can compensate for the frequent personell changes. They are impossible to miss.

Ah, i thought the multiple posting in different locations was to be able to show or hide the salaray range depending on U.s. state-level legislation related to that...also, in those cases where maybe if the role is remote, maybe they only want to hir candidates in a somewhat near/adjacent area to one of their offices.

The ones I encountered were purely German companies, so I doubt it had to do with salary ranges.
