That number is alarmingly accurate from the other side of the table too. I can't speak for any other companies, but from what I have personally observed, from 100 interviewed candidates we hire about 9. (Which translates to >90% rejection/non-hire rate.) The anecdotes from around the London tech scene imply that our numbers are not that different.
Basically, every company struggles with the same problem.
I even wrote about the experience as an interviewer some time ago: https://smarketshq.com/notes-on-interviewing-engineers-a4fa4383968a https://smarketshq.com/notes-on-interviewing-engineers-a4fa4... ; interviews are not easy. Regardless of the side of the table you're on.
