I've not seen any evidence of that. Have you? If that's really happening, we'd take away job posting privileges, but it's important not to be cavalier with accusations of abuse.
You could have your companies report hiring results every month. My accusation is based on years of evidence (reading job post) and anecdote (applying, never hired). A lot of the time companies don't even respond.
I'm perfectly willing to suspect the HR cabal, but if I'm a CEO missing 20+ engineering roles month after month, I'd get a new HR and process. Are your CEOs complaining they can't fill all these open jobs?
I really have no idea. (I don't mean that dismissively, just literally.)
Things like this, btw:
> You could have your companies report hiring results every month
... come from a mismatch between perception (of how things are over here) and reality (of how things are over here). We'd never do that, not because it would be valueless, but because there are so many other things that need doing which would benefit the community more.
(Again, I don't mean that as a criticism - it's not as if these things are directly perceivable.)
