Oh, I've played that game.

Did a round of interviews for staff engineer at Catawiki that felt more like trying to guess the right words than actual problem solving.

But I get it. People get dragged into the process, usually without compensation. And it's much easier and safer to reject than to accept.

The tragedy is that everyone knows that the approach isn't working, I haven't met a single person who thinks SWE hiring is working; but we still seem unable do fix it.
