ACM and IEEE Computer Society also host meetings "where one of the goals is to connect grad students with companies."

When I was in school, the local ACM chapter had meetings which which even helped undergraduates find internships and jobs.

All of the major ACM conferences have a job fair. Most of the minor ones as well.

There is nothing special about tech. The same is true for most fields. Where is your central source where you can hire a chemist?

Usually, the potential chemist hire comes to the site, talks to people, gives a job talk, etc.

> "say they HAVE to give these multi-day long technical screens"

The link you gave to AirBNB says it's one day technical screen, and candidates which pass that screen have a followup with four non-tech interviews. It is not a "multi-day long technical screen".
