I'd be very interested to know what the wording was in their survey of 600 "HR managers". Because I find it hard to believe that companies would file job posts that they never intend to fill -- and then admit it in a survey. I find it more likely the Internet is trolling them
On the other hand, I would expect companies to put up job posts that they have every intention to fill if the right candidate comes along, but structure the job requiremrnts so that precisely 10 people in the entire country are fully qualified for the well-compensated position. And then complain that they can't fill the position while collecting everyone's resumes and getting back to a few of them saying "That position is no longer open, would you consider this one at half the salary?"
Pretty sure signing over your soul is a requirement for HR positions. They do blatantly illegal things all the time and do not care. So yes, they will happily tell the truth in an anonymous survey.
If they're just doing it because their boss tells them to, why wouldn't they admit to it in an anonymous survey?
I don't find it that hard to believe, they're responding anonymously so they know it won't hurt their specific company's image, and the general message of "there's a lot of untrustworthy bullshit out there for job seekers (so if we do make an offer you better take it because your fallback plan might be a mirage) (and, y'know what, just in general - we have all the power here and we are going to lie to you and not feel bad about it because thats normal for us, so don't even think about complaining to anyone about it)" is one that serves all their interests
I think your "On the other hand etc." is a pretty accurate guess at specifically how they do this, tho
If they're responding anonymously on the Internet, they could be anyone. We have no way of knowing whether they really are hiring managers, or whether the site doing this "poll" made it up for clicks. I'm skeptical of everything I read on the Internet, even if it comes to a conclusion I agree with.
Usually for a poll like this, they would make invitations to targeted respondents and provide them with secure anonymous access when they agree.
It does not provide the details, but I highly doubt the polling was done anonymously online. You're right, that would be completely useless.
However, polling done offline also needs to be anonymized, even though it is offline and the pollster knows the identities of the participants, simply to protect them from repercussions.
They've grown day and happy working their post-covid skeleton crews to the bone.
Why would they want to alleviate that by paying for additional salaries?
They is not a monolith.
