Red flags I saw while doing technical interviews

If you're interviewing 50 candidates, your process is horrifically broken. As soon as you find an acceptable candidate, hire them. They don't have to be perfect; no hire will be, no matter how much time you spend. You're wasting company time and money.

In case you're interested, there's a bit of mathematics related to this. It's called "The secretary problem" [0].

Thanks! I've seen this before but forgot what it was called.
