In my very recent experience (specifically in the UK for roles to do with Ruby), the shirtage of developers mean it's way less painful than it used to be, cos companies are marketing themselves on their ease of interview process. I went from sending out CVs to getting a good offer in a week, and that offer was from a 1-stage, 1-hour interview process. Don't get me wrong, I basically spent that entire week on the phone to recruiters, but still, massive improvement on the last time I was in the market.
