Are you frickin&#x27; kidding me?<p>If you think that AT LEAST one part of the hiring &quot;process&quot; isn&#x27;t broken, you&#x27;re living in lala land.<p>Lets just pick one: recruiters.  You&#x27;re telling me that every single tech recruiter you&#x27;ve come across is excellent at what they do, an amazing and decent human being and has amazing communication skills?!<p>(Generally&#x2F;Most of the time) Recruiters don&#x27;t--and yes, they should--care about candidates.  They&#x27;re interested in pocketing their cut of the candidates salary, so as soon as the company says they&#x27;re not interested in the candidate, the recruiter is done.  Most people don&#x27;t get call-backs even informing them that they&#x27;re out of the running, much less a reason as to why they weren&#x27;t deemed qualified.<p>Recruiters--especially tech recruiters are NOTORIOUS for being bottom-dwelling scum.  I actually know a few good recruiters, but they are--by far--in the minority.<p>The fact that you don&#x27;t recognize this indicates that you&#x27;ve either had extraordinary&#x2F;atypical results, or aren&#x27;t very familiar with the &quot;process&quot;.  Dude.<p>Edit: spelling, puncturation
