Why do you think it is rational for a hiring firm, to not care about the job description? Wouldn't it be better for them, if only people with the necessary background applied? Then the number of interviews might go down, but the rate of hiring/interview would probably go up, so they would save time and money?

I have never worked at a company where I was scheduled time to do interviews as a part of my day-to-day responsibility. It has always been the case my development schedule is 120%, and oh we need to you to do all these interviews, but, your deadlines are still optimistic.
Yes exactly. But firms consist of humans. Humans mostly are too lazy and think too short them. So they rather bcc a bad job description to 10 recruitment agencies, hoping some has a warm, fitting candidate instead of briefing one or two agencies really well.
