Hr isn't exactly known for rigorous scientific research and I don't recall it being hr that introduced this trend of hazing candidates.

Also have you got any examples of this research that actually proves this correlation I haven't heard of any and I would have as I have spent decades semi involved in IR (industrial relations) in the UK

Hazing candidates is mostly negative reinforcement introduced to keep people from wanting to go to interviews and change jobs. It also selects for those willing to do a lot and put up with a lot for a corporation.
