I wish all interviewing was like that above - typically it's - create some incoherent job description, run through a bunch of semi-random candidates, pick a random guy that fits the budget, rinse/repeat...

Candidates know that, typical in person interview has a 1/10 chance (or worse) of getting an offer from an inperson interview, and so most candidates, including good ones, would care less to spend much time on interviewing with any one employer, or do much to increase their unknown chances.

As a rusult employers don't get right candidates and then wine about lack of talent and pay for crappy tools that just sort resumes half assed way... good grief.
