They've got an absolute shit-ton of recruiters out there manufacturing those candidates. I've never done an on-site Google interview (never the right timing) but they hit me up once a year trying to drum up interest. And then every one of those drummed-up interview loops takes time from their engineers who could be working on stuff.

They could probably do better for themselves as businesses with an interview process that looked for skills that are necessary to get the job done (not white board big-o olympics) and sufficient to get the job done (not white board big-o olympics).
