Do employers nowadays have impossibly high standards?

Applied for a job few weeks ago where the “ideal candidate” is a “recent graduate or fresh to the financial planning industry”. Got an email from the advertiser saying my application is unlikely to proceed and 78 candidates have applied. Saw the same job being advertised again today as jobs are posted for 30 days only. Are you telling me they can't find someone suitable with so many applications? What could they be looking for in an entry level position?
