The first product every candidate experiences is the interview loop. If they have a sloppy and redundant loop, it directly impacts the quality of talent they get. People who have lots of options aren't going to put up with BS. Usually also shows they have no idea what they're looking for. Another challenge with hiring, esp. at a startup is that many candidates who "qualify" will not be comfortable joining a startup, so you have to find both high quality and high intent people. There are some solutions that address this like https://topstartups.io/ https://topstartups.io/ and https://angel.co/ https://angel.co/ to some extent. In general, there needs to be clearer signaling of preferences. Too much time wasted.
