The internet is not short of open letters from developers despairing of the broken recruitment process. The prevailing sense is an objection to the submission to process required by candidate; submission to a reductive process designed to break a person down from a holistic human being to a set of scores, attributes or values, upon which a judgement is then passed. It is no exaggeration to say that this is inhumane. We can change this, but the first thing that has to go is the idea of the 'candidate funnel' (check it out yourself - this idea is so pervase in recruitment, we even build software around it) - which in 2D looks exactly like what it is: a sausage machine.
