Hard disagree. Outside of famous FAANG companies, modern hiring is largely recruitment-driven. Either recruitment by the hiring managers, or by dedicated recruiters tasked with identifying potential candidates.

Asking everyone to go through the same interview process isn't a sign of dysfunction, it's a sign that the company has their act together and is making an effort to compare potential hires using the same framework.

Congratulations! You did a great job identifying what's wrong with hiring at tech. Everyone keeps saying hiring in tech is broken. Now you know why.

These days, FANG/MULA have dedicated recruitment teams actively reaching out to people too. Depending on the candidate's qualifications, the first round is sometimes dropped (this is sometimes called a "red carpet experience" and it's specifically designed for poaching) but the lengthier second round (of 4-5 sessions) is generally non-negotiable.
