Well, sort of. They don't have to answer any replies, though.

But note in particular that firms specialize in coaching companies on how to fake compliance with such laws:

And invariably the job is written in a very legalistic way to make sure that nobody ever actually qualifies.

There's a chicken and egg situation there. Invariably, I've applied to jobs that want "hackers!" or "full stack devs".
Neither of those jobs actually meet immigration categories. If you want to hire someone through H1B you need to provide a job spec that is needlessly specific with exact skills checked off. The kind of job that, if you saw it, you'd think "I never want to work there, they list a job as if it's a checklist of acronyms!"
Yes, they do. They need to show proof of having advertised the job somewhere. At least, I've been through this process three times, with three different lawyers, and we've done it every time.
