A pair of luxury Italian shoes can cost many thousands of dollars.   The best ones are handmade, of course. Using old world techniques and custom materials.  

The most expensive cars in the world routinely eclipse the $3M mark.   And they too are not made on a high speed assembly line.  

How can we put a man on the moon but we can’t seem to get a candidate through the hiring process without something going wrong?

While I’m just a recruiting practitioner - not a scientist - I have a theory.

Recently, a couple of my friends were interviewing for jobs.   The only reason I know this is because they told EVERYONE.

Since the interview process at most companies is multiple steps and takes forever, I (and everyone else) got to hear about the good, the bad and the ugly over the course of several weeks.
