At a previous employer, managers were expected to do 200 per quarter (typically for 2-2.5 of the most active quarters). We were told it's better than Twitter where engineers did a minimum of 8 per week (and, allegedly, managers did even more). From my own experience, that sort of load undeniably turns evaluators into assholes. I think the main problem is that to see any return on investment (i.e. a 'successful' interview) it takes about a 6-12 months assuming the person is hired. Having to do such a repetitive task with such a dearth of feedback I think will make anybody go crazy. That's not even considering any imbalance between time spent on recruiting versus time spent on strategy or other management tasks.
