If your filters still get you unqualified candidates, I'd start looking at your filters first. Job reqs are being driven sky high, but people who get called back are horror stories like this that fail fizz buzz. Seems like the only ones who make it though are 90% liars and 1% unicorns. And perhaps soke 4-5% that could do the job but were failed anyway.

I mean, _I_ am not interviewing right now. But I can imagine Mr. useless that doesn’t know shot is.

I'm interviewing. I'm just not getting answers back. I have 9 YOE now so I've done the usual gauntlet hundreds of times by now.

Paet of it is that a lot of places just aren't hiring to begin with. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that those who remain either have poor processes (maybe some by design) or don't know how to find what they are looking for.

I'm not sure how to parse this.. you've done hundreds of interviews, as the candidate, in 9 years of experience?

If they move jobs every two years, that’s 5 periods of interviewing. 40 interviews per period doesn’t seem too out there.

I interpreted that as "I got laid off and I have 9 y.o.e. and I've done hundreds of interviews in this current period"
