For filter fun, try Googling "photo filters". Filters are generally bad, unless you actually want a biased output.

  The only two alternatives to not filtering candidates are to hire every candidate or not hire anyone. How could these possibly be better?

    Yes, not filtering is good, interviewing is good, hiring qualified candidates is good, not insulting senior candidates is good, blind filtering is bad.

      Interviewing _is_ a filter. Each step where you eliminate candidates is a filter; that's what that word means. I think what you're really trying to say is that blind filtering is bad (okay, you said this part explicitly) and you think that HackerRank is a blind filter. Unfortunately, this is pretty obviously not true. HackerRank uses quite a bit of data. Arguments that HackerRank is using the wrong data, or using what data it has poorly, would make a lot more sense than what you've said so far.
