I think the issue is the massive, massive power imbalance. Sure, as a worker you would like those things, but an employer has no reason to care. Even if they make a mix-up there are plenty of other candidates for the same position. Maybe they get someone actually worse but they have no way to know that and no reason to care.
For the employee it's a rejection from 1 out of 1-10 companies they are talking to, so it's a big and personal deal. For the company it's just 1 out of probably hundreds of candidates for 1 out of possibly hundreds of jobs.

- JimboOmega 9y agoThing is that the dating market goes both ways in all cases. There was a term for this that I lost somewhere, but basically it allows all parties to be very picky when there is a feeling of infinite candidates. It's true that there might be more e.g. straight men than straight women in the bay area, but it's not like the number of straight single women is so small that candidates are rare.
