HR benefits from lowballing job candidates

As the title says, what benefit(s) does HR get for bringing in talent cheaply? Or rephrased, why does HR nickel and dime employees? For example, a job in Boston initially offered me 115k base. I knew they were lowballing because a post for a similar job at same company accidentally posted salary range (up to 130k). Negotiations broke down cause a multibillion dollar company didn’t want to pay a few thousand more? Um, HR must do this for a reason. Anyone wanna spill the beans?
