Online hiring platform Hired released a report on Aug. 25 analyzing 31,146 interview requests from 1,848 companies made through Hired’s platform during the first half of 2016.
These were interview requests, not confirmed salary offers. Many of them quite mindlessly and robotically initiated by internal recruiters -- eager to stuff as many "inbound leads" as they can into their funnel. More specifically for intake "chats" with the recruiter -- not even (at that point) for a tech screen or an actual in-person interview.
It's safe to say that most of these discussions didn't get veyy far, and that the vast majority of people contacted weren't "offered" anything.
