Fake Job Ads Are Evil

It was in February. I was near the end of an onsite interview for a job with a large technology company and I asked the interviewer when he needed someone to start. He told me he did not have a job open right now but will probably need someone in April or May. Huh? I had gotten the interview through a staffing agency so I called the account manager at the agency immediately after the interview to let him know what I had been told. The time frame for his client to hire was news to him and he was no more happy about it than I was.
