Does it really matter if they find the right candidate through Monster.com, on SL or while they're shopping at Costco?

  Nope, not at all. The reason why I am slightly offended is that people are treating "virtual interviews" with the same seriousness as traditional, face-to-face interviews. There will be no substitute for real human, spoken, face-to-face interviews; more to take out of a person like body language and emotion. Human collaboration within a close environment is crucial to most aspects of business and production. It is nothing more than silly for an individual to feel accomplishment from a job interview via SecondLife; feeling successful, bypassing face-to-face interaction. Though, I feel this position might seem too harsh.

    Where does it treat them with the same seriousness? To me the initial SL component was just a screening / outreach process - finding them someone they wouldn't have otherwise found. He then had 11 face-to-face interviews (in two different countries) totalling 9.5 hours of face-to-face time.. How was this "bypassing face-to-face interaction"?
