...I tend to disagree that we have plenty. And I don't trust our hiring boards to consistently make the right call. They tell you they want to hire you if you've made it that far, but I know of so many poor choices - particularly rejections - that I don't believe it. Anyone who thinks they can tease out problematic candidates in a 30 minute chat around a table after that persons' body of work has earned an interview (particularly at the rate at which they reject candidates) is a bit overconfident in their own abilities.
Yeah maybe not plenty, but they are out there. I agree though the process is flawed based on how many good people are turned down.
