I was a hiring manager in tech for many years and my impression was that talented people care, as do managers. Seems like everyone involved except the recruiter

  Maybe i misinterpreted what GP said. curious if you have an example where you took a candidates feedback and improved your process. If you company does leetcode puzzles ( I worked at such a company) for hiring and a candidate tells you that they felt like that processes lacked basic human decency. What would you do?

    Evaluate the areas of human interaction or places where some could be and try to make those better. Instead of just thinking that a technical challenge is there be all end all of recruiting. “ I used to work in tech recruiting. I guarantee you 100%, no one cares.” This does not reflect tech recruiting. People do care and while there are many hurdles to changing a process, we shouldn’t give up because its hard.

      ok how does this address my example above about the most popular "inhumane" tech hiring complaint on HN. What are you going to do about that other than give up?

        As a candidate? Tell them you don't do puzzles before talking to humans and to advance you to the next screen? It's not like those rules can't be broken or changed, they aren't laws of physics.

          No. Not as a candidate. GP is referring to recruiting. > This does not reflect tech recruiting. we shouldn’t give up because its hard.
