The rise of never-ending job interviews
I am actually going through the hiring process now.  I was a hiring manager at my last shop and I tried to be very respectful of the candidates time.<p>The process was first interview was 30 mins and basically a getting to know you and us session.  Second interview was a two hour technical interview with debugging&#x2F;fix this function type question and a single from scratch example question in the candidates language of choice.  The final round was purely optional if the CTO or CEO wanted to meet the candidate (they rarely did).<p>If you made it through all that you got an offer.  Of all the candidates I hired only 1 didn&#x27;t work out long term.<p>Now that I am on the other end, I don&#x27;t understand the need for this overly complex and generally noncommittal (on the employer side) process.  If it&#x27;s FAANG I am lucky if I can even get a fucking job description these days.  They want to interview me for jobs I can&#x27;t know about and best fit me for their needs.  What about my needs?  What about my time?  If I can&#x27;t even get a job description, why do you think I want to waste 3 hours doing &quot;homework&quot; before I can even talk to anyone for more than 10 minutes about what possible job I could be actually doing for you?<p>Hiring in Tech is broken and I don&#x27;t know what we can do to fix it.
