That's only because you spent thousands having candidates go through 7 interviews.

  Stronger: You're also rejecting more candidates. So you're not only wasting the time of 7 interviews, you're wasting the time of 7 interviewss times the N people you interview before you find one you're willing to hire. And then, as others have said, there's the cost of the people who look at your hiring process and decide that they won't bother to try to jump through your hoops. Hint: They are not the least valuable candidates.

    I get 3-5 requests to interview from Amazon a week. I ignore most of them completely because I know too much about them. Guy I worked closely with at a certain cobbler in Beaverton Oregon you've probably heard of. He left for good reason and had lots of bad things to day. The managed to claw him back after about a year with "a huge pile of money" right after he had a kid. Up front (before talking to the hiring manager) artificial coding challenge is a massive red flag, and I'll bail at that stage with most companies. Last week I asked one of their spear fishers via LinkedIn if they're still doing that. She confirmed they are so I don't need to talk to them for a while.

  Interviews are the smallest timesink in all of hiring. I’ve personally whittled down 1000+ resumes to 2 and then those 2 interviewed with 4 people. We found the right person though. The number of times I’ve seen a wrong hire fumble their way into our company and burn months and months of time then we have to hire again and then the months of fixing the screw ups disgusts me.
