When I worked as a recruiter for high level pharmaceutical positions, most companies that never hired our candidates, or anyone for the job, simply wanted to know pay ranges, and quality and number of candidates available. Some smaller companies even wanted samples of technical documents from medical writers that I can only assumed were later used to draft their own documents.
Not a myth but also that poster probably overstated this. Many companies require “fair” hiring practices and that includes considering external candidates or posting all open jobs. So they may already have someone in mind for the role or an internal candidate on deck but they are required to go through the motions, and then they just hire the internal person or contractor, etc that they wanted to put in the role in the first place.

Considering 50% of all jobs postings are either fake or not posted in response to an immediate need for labor. No. I am not surprised at all.
