> Sorry, but what you've outlined above doesn't show that you value the candidates' time. You require two rounds of technical interviews before any human contact. It's asymmetrical. By automating the first two steps, you've made it so that you can waste as much of the applicants' time as you want without expending any further time or resources on your part.

I understand this was the goal. You can either waste your company's time or the candidates' time. I don't think there's a way to preserve both. Given that your goal is helping your employer, this seems like the sensible thing to do.

That's playing the short game.

If as mentioned previously wasting candidates' time filters out the most competent people, then you're not helping your employer.

Also, I object to thinking that someone's time needs to be "wasted".

Good points, agreed.
