These companies are too large and have to rely on hiring managers versus people who might be domain experts for the actual project (who are probably too busy with said project themselves to take time to vet 500 candidates). It's an unsolvable problem I think for a large company. For much smaller companies, maybe you'd get a lot fewer applicants and it would actually be realistic for a team member to take a week to do some hiring for their team. Of course as small companies get successful, they tend to grow, then they lose this hiring relevancy advantage.
