> Gates that reduce resume flow-through are only useful if their reduction is correlated with quality.

The volume is infeasible to review everyone for quality, even at an hour scale. The conclusion and solution is inevitable, though I wish it were different. 35% is actually really good if you’re not coming in through a referral.

The current reality is <1% and the person reviewing you is exhausted.

You may as well just randomly pick 65 to discard, if your only goal is to reduce the number for review.

What a inhumane way of looking at this. Hiring is deeply flawed, you know it, and yet you keep job postings open for weeks/months in case "the one" magically appears on your doorstep instead of just interviewing 10-20 people and just pick one...

Corpo bullshittery at its finest.

This reasoning isn't.
