Thanks, that's essentially the answer I was about to write.

I think the main disagreement here is that OP considers hiring him to be a privilege where parent considers being hired by him to be one. As long as parent is OK missing out on all the developers that aren't hungry enough to subject themselves to one-sided interviews like this, he'll be fine.

I like to think there's a high correlation between one's skills and unwillingness to accommodate arbitrary processes, but have nothing to back that up.
