opinion on 7-10 rounds of interviews?

Now a days, candidate experience has been tossed out of window. Companies and Talent hunt team are expecting candidates to go through multiple rounds of interviews with no clarity on rounds held, with multiple reschedules and delays with lot of uncertainty. what grapeviners thoughts about it? is it fair to have this practice?

Nah that’s usually the sign of a being very undecided on someone

Like ideally you should be able to make up your mind about someone after 4-5 at most

7-10 round of interviews is like almost a free trial period 😅

Undecided? Both ways right? Why not have clarity ? Odds of getting good rating 5/10 are most likely

Standard Google recruitment process has 6 rounds. Phone Screen Technical x3 Googlyness Hiring Manager (multiple can be held)

If any of the technical results are weak, then expect 1-2 more rounds. Multiple HM rounds if you are trying for different teams.

It is an employers market. More steps to just reduce people in their funnel

Bhai just stating what the reality is. When demand for talent was crazy people cut down the process to fewer rounds. It is just a sad reality.

Begs the question- do recruiters have a KPI on the number of interviews they conduct?

More the flow, more work they will have

They can bloat their lead CRM's too for their product/service with contact info.

7-10 rounds of interviews are definitely overkill. However, if they are standard interviews (DSA and system design), it's still much better than take-home assignments that could take more than 3 days to finish. Multiple times, I was ghosted following large take-home assignments even though I had executed them perfectly, with no feedbacks 😥
