seems like most companies are doing 1-3, in one form or another. most of them just want your resume,a nd likely the private details on the resume to sell.
Best case scenario, HR is setting up fake jobs to make it look like an internal transfer or promotion was actually competetive.
Worst case scenario, they’re just doing it to pad the numbers of ‘how many new positions we’re looking to fill = we are growing rapidly!’ Stupid shsreholders might buy that.
Super duper worst case scenario, its all a data mining operation on the pool of potential employees… the company is so fucked it has to essentially contract itself out to market research firms.
Those are my 3 guesses.
Your particular situation makes #1 seem unlikely… thats waaay too much man hours devoted to interviews, when the company itself is bleeding out employees.

Definitely not a fake company, have made a dent in the administrative side of healthcare spaces, but #3 seems plausible.
Another place I worked would do it semi-related to #1 with regards to sponsoring visas - but I never asked too many questions, just in case.
