The fact that you have people that know nothing about the technical requirements of the role means you have an idiot deciding on whether or not you fit. Your chances are crippled from the get go.

These are red flags to me. This is just a tip of the iceberg and a great indicator as to how dysfunctional the company is.

If you’re THAT detached from the hiring process then you’ll never find a good candidate because you don’t know what a good candidate is.

All that means is that if you some how manage to get hired you’ll be working with idiots that can’t do their job because they were hired by an idiot.

I work for a company that makes rocket engines. It makes no sense to teach the folks in HR about all the disciplines that go into the business - mechanical design, combustion devices, materials and properties, electronics, software, etc. It makes way more sense to make sure they know how to do their own job, and for a hiring manager to be able to tell them something like, "Send me all the applicants who have a computer science degree and at least five years of experience." Then I can evaluate which of those applicants is the best fit based on the resume. The form facilitate that.

That attitude is precisely the reason why you struggle to find good people. There is no shortage of good applicants. You just don’t know what you’re doing and can’t see the difference.

It’s a real shame. All the more reason why my hatred for corporations grows on a daily basis.

I don't struggle to find good applicants. I have a really high success rate in a very challenging field.
