key insight. the factors influencing this are a couple I can think of. the first is just the sheer volume of applicants made possible by the internet and the mobility of workers, where you get hundreds of profiles to sort through for any job and use a coarse technical funnel to sort them. the second is we can't just pick good colleagues because the regulatory and litigation environment imposes selection criteria where we have to evaluate all these applicants equally. these aren't justifications for the confrontational interview filter, but some upstream factors that are worth picking at to see if something better could become a solution to them.
