"An applicant would be forced to interview with more than three to six people for up to six months."
Forced? Don't be absurd.
"After the culmination of an arduous, emotionally draining interview process, an offer could be made that is far below the expectations of the eager candidate."
There's nothing whatsoever preventing the candidate from, at the beginning, saying: "hey, before we spend a lot of time on this, what kind of salaries are we talking?"
And at the end, if the candidate gets a lowball offer, there's nothing whatsoever preventing him making a counteroffer.
