I dont buy that. I've been in positions high enough at previous companies so that I had access to the detailed P&L sheets.
When doing a monthly/quarterly or yearly plan, there is a budget set for human resources. Theres an allocated budget for each open position, and a plan of when those positions will be opened .
Even at the most chaotic there was something like that.
All companies could easily use that budget as a proxy to provide at least a range for each position.
Most dont do it because they dont want to leave money on the table.
