Same question. I think we all know a couple people who nearly failed the market because of when their A hit, but not completely and certainly not without a job this late (actually CM at Duke has a story like this about himself but I think he ended up with an offer in December)
Who are the people with A pubs that aren't getting jobs?
Au contraire, the market is sending an unequivocal signal: pubs are no good unless reputable people endorse the candidate.
No value. People with A pubs are not even getting jobs. Everything is broken.

Does A pubs guarantee jobs?
If not, why?It doesn’t guarantee you a top ten job. Some people will not accept a job outside of a certain range. Those people might not get interviewed in that range. If they want to stay in the field, they get a postdoc or VAP, hoping- generally accurately- that another A will help them out. If they don’t want to stay in the field, they get an industry job.
Of the people who stay in the field, most I know end up doing well on the job market, but I do know one person personally who went into industry and I assume that’s what happened with someone I knew distally who had two A’s but didn’t stay in the field.
As for other reasons, we had a postdoc with severe behavioral issues who burned down all of their bridges at their doctoral institution and no one would write them letters outside of their advisor. This of course was hidden from her postdoc advisor. This person published a ton during their postdoc and has bounced around a few top jobs, and I think has tenure now. While there’s nothing wrong with their research I hope they don’t have phd students.
