What does it mean if a position is posted as “Open Until Filled” or “Applications will be accepted until the position is filled”?

Applications will continue to be accepted for the position until a suitable candidate is selected and accepts an offer of employment. For these positions, it is in your best interest to apply as soon as possible since applications are reviewed as soon as they are received and the vacancy may close without any advance notice. These positions may take more than 4 weeks before candidates are contacted for testing and / or interviews.
