Is there any other industry that does this? Acting/showbusiness maybe? Is it because the industry can't decide on a curriculum/certifications that attest to competence? Surely on-boarding at most small - medium sized tech companies is less expensive than other industries that require uniforms/equipment etc. And the positions generally require higher education/substantial relevant work history requirements, so that would assume general training is not necessary besides training in specific platforms/tools your company uses. Why is it so much more important to vet tech workers so intensely than any other industry? Honestly it seems a lot like employers abusing their positions. I've worked in offices with annoying people you just deal with it, assuming they can competently do their work. Trying to hard to get a "culture fit" or whatever other soft requirement at the applicants expense is not OK.
