I find it hard to believe that it makes commercial sense to have such
a high turnover. It takes time to train them, and even just having to
process the payroll for them costs money. Selecting fewer, better
ones, and nurturing them more, would make more sense to most
organisations.

Why does one need to be an expert in something to be allowed to
suggest, from anecdotal evidence, that someone else might be doing

very hard.

Most of them do it because they can get a bit more benefit f it looks
like they are trying to get work.

People who aren't interested when they get the job usually aren't
convincing when interviewed about why they want it (I accept that
there are some false positives and negatives).
