It's buyers market, so the interview as hazing technique works just fine.

Since when is it a buyer's market?

If employers can get away with the bullshit that they do, it's a buyers market.

In my personal experience, I've rarely had problems hiring qualified candidates, and my employer doesn't pay particularly well, and isn't located in a particularly large market. A company like Google who does pay very generously needs to narrow the funnel just to get the pool down to an actionable number.
