Just putting it out there: Are their companies out there that do a cultural fit/assessment (it's nonsense of course, they just want to make sure they like you) BEFORE proceeding to a technical interview? Why not save the candidate's AND interviewer's time? Agreed that this might be a legal minefield, but for fucks sake, look at all the anguish the widely practiced interviewing practices creates.
