> Adding more risk for hiring IMO just increases how awful the hiring process will become.
I'm not disagreeing with that, but I want an explanation of where the additional risk would come from in this situation. And why, because of that risk, companies would do something like add more hiring rounds.
If the additional risk is just getting stuck with an employee during a downturn, more hiring rounds wouldn't affect that, so there would be no reason to add them.
Also it seems like it's currently pretty easy to fire people. I'm not at all confident you could reduce the hiring process by making firing even easier. And how do you propose handling the people that already have jobs and need a commitment before quitting them?
