   Every time I've hired someone at a big company, it's taken multiple months to get candidates through the pipeline, and it was not uncommon to have to go back to the candidate pool when someone would accept an offer and change their mind before starting. 90 days to fill a role would be considered relatively quick.

      I am hearing from multiple people in hiring departments at different companies that they are doing 7-9 rounds of interviews for non-coding tech roles.

      These companies have lost their minds.

         It's just cruel

            Maybe the cruelty is the point? They are looking for people that will put up with bullshit and suffering?

               I'd say it's more incompetence than cruelty. People (edit: I mean companies) have options and don't know how to filter, so they just go nuts in the worst possible way.

                  Or they don't have options and have to put up with it.

                     From the candidates point of view, that's definitely the case.
