Sure, but my counter-point is: "who cares?" Why is it important for the process to the perfectly fair when there's a truck-load of money at play? As soon as you get hired you're set for life, so what's so terrible about having to spend some time learning about a couple of additional concepts? Even if you never use them again, you're still on the win by an unfathomable margin.
Not to be disrespectful to anyone, but this "issue" is the personification of that gif with a man wiping his tears with 100 dollar bills. The tech community has become increasingly disconnected from the real world in the past 10 years.
>it important for the process to the perfectly fair
It's not about fairness, it's about the ability for a company to hire what they need, and the person who best fits that need to be hired. That isn't happening now because the hiring process is broken. I think the main issue is people are afraid to fire employees who don't work out, although there are plenty of mechanisms (legal and policy) to make this frictionless. There is also a tsunami of unqualified people trying to get hired because it's one of the last few occupations that pays fairly well.
>As soon as you get hired you're set for life
That isn't anywhere close to true.

Sounds like you have an axe to grind. What are you basing this off of? I assume you don't work in tech.
