At least Google can say "we get so many applicants this is what we have to do!". Why do random web dev companies attempt to grill you with the same level of rig

At least Google can say "we get so many applicants this is what we have to do!". Why do random web dev companies attempt to grill you with the same level of rigor as Google is beyond me.

Because they like to flatter themselves that the problems they solve require top talent, and they, the current employees are top talent. Usually neither is true, and they don't pay like Google either.

  It's easy to screw it up, but trying to hire people who are better than you doesn't seem like a bad idea.

  Even most of Google is flattering itself as far as that goes.

It's simple cargo cult behavior

Then why do their recruiters reach out to candidates with extensive work history and slam them into the standard hiring pipeline(I'm not talking Google specifically, but the BigCos in general). It's not because they have too many people applying, it's because they have too many people complying.
