Its the answer nobody hiring wants to hear, spend more (skilled not hr) human time screening and interviewing the candidates.

The process outlined put a stronger emphasis on luck, and catching fire in the 6 minutes you had than skill.

Don't forget the inevitable emphasis on "grinding Leetcode."

As usual the best existing employees would fail the interview process.
