The process is usually one person doing one 20min behavioral phone screen, and maybe one technical person doing one 60min technical phone screen, give or take.

The process is usually one person doing one 20min behavioral phone screen, and maybe one technical person doing one 60min technical phone screen, give or take. Maybe a homework. Then maybe 3-6 one-on-one interviews for a 5 hour onsite. Fiddle with the numbers if you need, but this covers 90% of companies interviewing today. That's way too few phone screens and way too many onsites if you don't get rid of enough candidates at the phone screen stage. Simply disqualifying the candidate because they don't meet the specs happens anyway- the question is, are you a highly skilled hiring manager by coming to this realization quickly, or only after you have the candidates come in and you waste an afternoon introducing them to everybody? I personally feel this industry could use more insults going the other way. Until hiring managers realize they have been trying to source talent with their middle finger out the whole time, they're not going to realize they need to change.
