It often seems to me that there are incentive problems with recruiting. HR's most commonly centred, on shaky data, around getting rid of as many candidates as possible, and there's no real advantage in them treating you decently, unless they think they're going to be rewarded for some financial gain down the line. If they don't think that they're going to be rewarded, there's still an incentive to mess you about because they don't really want you going with someone else. Position of power, poor incentives, actively contradictory interests in the case that they decide you're no good for them. shrug Breadth first search strategy manifests social problems.
