We Don't Have a Talent Shortage. We Have a Sucker Shortage
It sounds to me that this might be a problem with startups. I&#x27;ve been working in the enterprise space for 5 years, and I&#x27;ve never come across this sort of hiring.<p>The last job I applied for was open from February 1 - March 1. After that, they pulled it down and began interviewing candidates. Six weeks later, I have an offer letter for a specific role with a well-negotiated compensation package.<p>Personally if HR treats you the way OP is saying, my guess is  you don&#x27;t want to work for that company anyways. Interviewing experienced people is more the company needing to sell themselves to the candidate, rather than the candidate sell themselves to the company.
