Why is it adversarial? I figure it's about the candidate trying to find a position that is suitable for him or her, and the employer is trying to find the correct person to fullfill a specific role.
If the role does not fit the candidate, certainly it's advantageous to both that the candidate does not get hired.

I figure it's about the candidate trying to find a position that is suitable for him or her, and the employer is trying to find the correct person to fulfill a specific role. that's ideal, but in practice i think employers and candidates are conditioned (perhaps by prior less professional employment? or the market as a whole?) to think that it is the candidate's job to trick their way into the company, and the employer's job to guard against the unqualified sneaking in.
