I don't believe this.
The only way this is true is if there are a lot of openings at companies that are going to pay significantly under market and can't figure out why nobody is accepting their offers, even when candidates tell them.
Based on another comment [0], maybe this is actually the case.

- pcthrowaway 5y agoI don't know if you've looked at the "Who is Hiring" and "Who wants to be Hired" threads in the last 4 months, but the "Who Is Hiring" comment count has been ~3X the number of "Who Wants to Be Hired" over that period Layoffs and hiring freezes at big tech might change things in the next few months though

Employers post hiring ads, get responses, and conclude that posting ads works and they should keep doing it. Job seekers post hire-me ads, get no responses, and conclude that posting ads doesn't work and there's no reason to do it.
