How do H1B consultancies have abundance of jobs when new grads struggle?

Question

1] How do H1B consulting companies that take money from candidates to apply for H1B, have abundance of jobs; But on the other hand, new grads are struggling for jobs?

2] What's the catch for a candidate applying thru these H1B consulting companies? Seems like a win-win situation for candidate and the consulting company

Background

1] There are H1B consulting/contracting companies that can apply for H1B visa for south Asia based candidates

2] Candidates apply for multiple H1B visas thru multiple companies. Submission fee is merely 10$

3] Companies benefit - Once visa is selected, they take anywhere from 5K to 10K USD from the candidate + a percentage of future earnings

4] Candidate benefit - Thru relatively low uplift, candidate gets a chance to work for USD earnings
