Unlikely companies do anything with the applicants they get for these jobs other than log them in a database. Of the many reasons companies post jobs they don't intend to fill, careful A/B testing seems one of the least plausible. No place I ever worked did this to determine lowest possible salary, nor did they worry about getting too few applicants unless the number approached zero.

Do they have any intention to hire for those roles or is it literally just for measuring market signal? | ||
