The hiring process is fundamentally broken, but not always in the ways that job-seekers think.

It's hard to establish during the interview process that someone will be able to do the job you need them to do. Hiring them is a huge risk, both legal and cultural. It's not easy to fire people, and lawsuits/arbitration are common.

The endless interview process, which costs companies many good candidates, is there because they fear the bad ones they can't recognize.
