MODERATORS
That's wild, because I recall seeing job postings for Vimeo as recently as 2 months ago.
Job postings don't necessarily mean that they're actually hiring. Sometimes job postings are used to appear healthy in public.
That or they post them so they can say they did before promoting within, hiring based on nepotism, or to be able to do a H1B hire.
Companies don't stop hiring, at least in tech. They can force out more expensive talent and hire in cheaper areas or get more junior talent. You could very well interview your potential replacement.
