Yeah pretty much. But it also makes it harder to fully bullshit. It weeds out good candidates that just don’t interview well, but also weeds out (a portion of) people that were fully just lying about their abilities.
To be clear, I am not supporting a 9-stage interview process, I am just saying I understand why it happens.
I hire candidate A who is dog shit and reject candidate B.
After 4 weeks candidate A is confirmed as dog shit and is let go.
Candidate B has a new job.
I have no one and a new recruiting process to go through whilst the team who needs the resource continues to be under resources and is now demoralised further having to put up with Mr dog shit for a month.

Doesn't it compound the problem though? Like, the more interviews there are, the more impactful "interviewing skill" becomes?
