“Pre Identified Candidate had been Selected”

I saw this position posted by Johnson & Johnson, and as you can see by the title of this post, They already have a “pre-identified candidate” that has already been selected for the role.

I assume an internal applicant is getting this role, but why even bother posting this.. We know no one else will be considered because it’s just a waste of resources… I understand the legalities of being a EOE, but this type of hiring practices is exhausting and annoying.
