Told the last Google recruiter that contacted me "No, I've been through your interview process once years ago, I'm not subjecting myself to that again."

I got my current job after a brief phone screen and a one hour in-person interview. It came with a big pay increase and the smartest people I've worked with so far.

I'm not sure why so many companies insist on the days-long torture interviews (I've been through several), but I know they're not necessary to find good people.
