That's what I'm hearing. I've also heard HR "professionals" (i.e. Talent Acquisition Specialists) say that they should always be accepting applications for every position in their company because "you never know what better candidates are out there unless you look." In other words, like the hoes on Tinder, companies want to have a "rotation" of candidates they can hire on a moment's notice should a.) you get sick of their shit and leave or b.) they get sick you not taking their shit and asking for a pay increase.
