My take is that too many people are telling others how to interview. It is their money, their company, their job, their life. Let them do it the way they want as long as they follow the legal requirements.

If you think you have a better way, tell us about it without passing judgement on others. Tell us why it works, how great it is, give us some qualitative and quantitative data. Most of all, enjoy your competitive advantage. But for god's sake, quit telling other people they are doing it wrong.

While I don’t disagree, the biggest problem I think is that some or even many interviewers just don’t care or not motivated enough to care whether the candidate can indeed be a great help to the company or the project and approach their interviews in a shallow and formal way.

Then that is a great job for other unmotived people. For motivated people, the poor interview is a great signal to look for a different company.
