Technical recruitment processes are fundamentally broken, designed to induce stress rather than evaluate actual job performance. The industry has evolved from Edison's 1920s credentialism through LinkedIn's commodification to today's AI-driven race to the bottom. The solution involves values-based structured interviews, holding space for candidates to demonstrate capabilities, and treating interviewing as a skill requiring training. Organizations should decompose roles into core competencies, embed company values throughout the process, and focus on culture-add rather than culture-fit. Candidates should leverage networks, practice interviewing regularly (not just when desperate), and recognize that rejection is systemic, not personal.
