I don’t know how but over time all the “new fangled” tech companies have the same approach to hiring. They just keep growing headcount as its own workstream. Google started it I think, their HR just interviews and grabs the talent without a need. Matching employees to a role that already got hired to a company is just insane. That is the reason why I never interview with anyone that wants to do a generic hire. These HR folks are purely assessed on how many they hire and so they keep hiring.

This just makes me respect the old school processes that apple and nvidia follow that much more. They are the best run companies in tech



Once you're a big enough company hiring needs to be its own workstream just to keep up with attrition.
