What do some companies post jobs as confidential?

• Some companies don't want it to be publicly known they are hiring. Perhaps they haven't advertised the job to their own employees.
• Sometimes they are going to replace a person who doesn't know it yet and they don’t want them mistakenly finding out they are interviewing for the position.
• Perhaps they don't want their competitors knowing what sort of skill set they are looking for.
• Perhaps they don't want their stock prices to drop when the public realizes the star employee with the brilliant ideas' is retiring and needs to be replaced.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons why they might want to be confidential. Our advice is to apply, you really have nothing to lose.
