If you hire one out of 50 applicants, there is an implication that you're at least trying to hire the best 2%, and that there is an employer's market.
That's of course incorrect if every applicant on average makes 100 job applications. That means you're lucky if you get one of those 50 before some other company makes them a better offer, which is why you have to keep a couple of choices open until the papers are signed.
That means there are two open jobs for every applicant (with some fair assumptions).
