Most senior level hackers are being hired through very shortened interview cycles. Often a phonecall and that's it. The old school way of a recruiter reaching out, then a screening, then a tech round is falling behind.
True story. I don't mind a few follow-ups to meet management/executive staff before an offer, but a company needs to be able to recognize my talent without a microscope. If they don't have someone to do that, they need to be recruiting me at CTO level.
