Try re-reading the first paragraph as if you were the recipient of your message.  And where do you think it&#x27;s no hassle for me?  I spend somewhere around 4 hours every week on interviews, for years now.<p>Job hunting is a big deal.  It&#x27;s real work, and literally everyone who&#x27;s doing an interview has been interviewed, almost certainly in the same process.  I studied up before my interviews, and I worked to manage my energy and capability when doing them.  The article&#x27;s premise that they should walk into an interview room and mystically get evaluated on traits that you can&#x27;t directly measure, or compare objectively, is ridiculous.  I read the article thinking this is the same type of guy that probably complains about having to see homeless people in SF.  Completely entitled.<p>I take offense to the premise that I don&#x27;t have empathy for the candidates - evaluating a person for a job is a deeply emotional affair.  I have to walk a fine line between the needs of the candidate and employer. I can&#x27;t hug you or take you out for drinks, as that could result in a lawsuit.  The best I can do is find the interview question that lets you show off the best of your talents.<p>Asking for empathy without giving any in return isn&#x27;t going to get you very far.
