Ask HN: What Do You Hate About the Hiring Process?

For the past 2 years I have been running free and paid mock interviews with hundreds of candidates who are primarily targeting tech companies - free content on YT under InterviewAt if interested. The follow-up meetings after the mocks with candidates have been amazing pseudo customer discovery sessions.

I've spent the last handful of months thinking deeply about how companies are running their processes and how candidates are preparing for their interviews, and I have come to the conclusion that there has to be a better way for everyone involved.

I've begun building software to address a part of the problem I think I can impact immediately, but would love to hear from people here on HN for the following prompt:

What do you hate / wish was better about the process of *preparing for* or *being in* a job interview.

I think there are 3 relevant personas, and user story format is totally fine: - As a job candidate, I hate... - As an interviewer, I hate... - As a hiring manager, I hate...
