Perhaps some legal thing, where they already know who they're hiring but can maintain some deniability and say "See? We made an open job listing". Just guessing, but I know this happens in the academia.
It is a thing yes. I'm just pissed off that this company reached out to me, scheduled an interview with me over phone, had the interview with me and the person made himself feel less guilty by calling and talking about how good of a candidate I am. Just send a fucking email like everyone else. I think that was what makes me feel the worst about the situation.

I feel you. Had a video-interview last week to which I was the only person to show up...
