I was involved in hiring new hires for a highly technical skilled trade’s position for about 20 years for a large fortunate 500 company.
When we advertised, for example, needing to fill 2 positions we would get usually around 200 resumes. We would take the most likely looking these candidates and do and extensive technical interview consisting only of questions the directly related to the trade.
After we had a pool of qualified candidates we would give our list to HR and they would do the standard background checks and physical evaluations using the order we ranked the candidates.
Rest assured that some that appeared to have the technical skill were rejected for gut feelings about attitude, poor first impression, or little signals that said I am a prima donna and I will have your company straightened out in a few weeks.
Whenever there are more qualified applicants than there are jobs the ball is in the employers court and if they have equally or more qualified candidates you attitude towards the interviewer speaks volumes.
Remember the old saying “you only get one chance to make a good first impression”.
If you don’t need the job I applaud your independence, if you need a job you would do well to heed the advice some are giving you in this thread
