Well to see it from the perspective from the inside: we always have hundreds of openings, and I've seen openings for months and years without suitable candidates. Sometimes lots of bad applicants and sometimes no applicants at all.
That's for the niche openings. For regular graduate stuff new people start every single day.
It's hard to match up that with the fact that some people apparently aren't getting a single application progressed.
I agree, but until that's clear I remain quite skeptical.
