The hiring process in tech is completely broken. - Round 1: Recruiter screens you for 15 minutes. - Round 2: Technical phone screen. - Round 3: Take-home project. "Should only take 4-6 hours." Takes 20. - Round 4: On-site. 5 back-to-back interviews. - Round 5: "Culture fit" chat with the founder. - Round 6: Reference checks. - Round 7: Waiting. Silence. Ghosted. Meanwhile the guy who got hired knew someone on the team. 6 rounds of interviews defeated by one LinkedIn connection.
