Yes they do, H1B employer has to advertise the H1B job

Companies list the H1B eligible position and salary internally and externally specifically for compliance

No, they don’t have to advertise the position. They have to disclose that they are hiring H1B workers. It’s a huge difference. In particular, there is no mechanism by which the disclosure can lead to a US worker applying for the job and blocking the H1B hire.

For H1B there’s simply no labor market test.
