Looking for another part time job. the vast majority of these available jobs read like the creepy listing where some guy is looking for a roommate but is specifically looking for female roommates only.

Just gross.

    The even more annoying one is when the listing says “Confidential” for both the salary and the company that’s hiring.

      These are usually jobs that are listed by recruitment agencies. They don’t want you to know the company since then you could just apply directly to the company, and they won’t get their cut.

      Recruitment agencies often take a percentage of the salary, at least for the first year, as payment for referring a successful applicant. It’s transparent to the jobseeker - the salary you see is after the agency’s cut.

      The other time I see that here in Silicon Valley is for “stealth startups” - startups that are operating quietly, out of the spotlight, and haven’t yet applied for or gotten VC funding.

        I get it in some cases hiding the company name but in that case, the salary should be disclosed as the bare minimum.
