Hiring 2-6% of applicants?

That sounds high, not to be dreary, but given how easy it is to spam and roles having thousands of applicants.

There's about 10M in US tech jobs and the forecast for net job adds is +2% in 2026 so the number on a macro level checks out.

Could have been a number to make us feel better, or perhaps post-spam filter.
