got an old college roommate in HR, now a VP of HR. we were talking about this a decade ago (he wasnt a VP then). his team would throw out fake adverts and see what bites. how many hits, and how qualified. their ATS allowed for fields like expected salary, so they could take the temperature of the market and see how many hits, and for how much $$$, they'd get for any particular job. No scams, just no response. Presumably they purged the PII at some point.
