Me too. Unfortunately, I have no control over recruiters or the questionable candidates they sometimes choose to send in. I just have to do my best to ascertain whether the person is a good potential teammate.

Yes, and my point is to not take that critical failure out on the candidate.

I wouldn't "take it out" on the candidate. I always treat my candidates with due respect and courtesy. I would no-hire them, though, if they were not a match for the team.
