Google and Facebook both pay reasonably above-market and have high employee satisfaction, and receive more resumes in a month than they could possibly hire in the next 10 years. They also both have ginormous internal recruiting departments. They could definitely fill their need for new software engineers naturally, but presumably have data that the quality of candidates they get by bothering a substantial fraction of the world's software engineers on ~a yearly basis gets them better applicants and engineers.
