How many rounds of interviews is normal?

I've been through three interviews at most. Although it was unnecessary, there was no way to resist, so I was forced to choose to obey. Personally, I think this recruitment method not only wastes the time and energy of candidates, but also exposes the incompetence and distrust of recruiters.

First, multiple rounds of interviews waste candidates' time and energy.

Many companies have set up three, four or more rounds of interviews, requiring candidates to go to the interview site many times, fill out a large number of forms and tests, and accept repeated questions from the interviewer. This undoubtedly wastes candidates' time and energy and makes them feel exhausted.

Second, multiple rounds of interviews exposed the incompetence and distrust of recruiters.

If the company needs to conduct multiple interviews during the recruitment process, it means that they did not do well in the initial screening or lacked trust in the candidates. This will not only make candidates dissatisfied and suspicious of the company's recruitment process, but also undermine their confidence in the company.

Third, multiple rounds of interviews will also bring certain personnel and financial costs to the company.

It takes a lot of time and money to interview each candidate four times, and these costs may not bring good recruitment results in the end.

Fourth, multiple rounds of recruitment will also lead to the brain drain of some outstanding talents. Due to the tedious interview and the prolonged recruitment cycle, some excellent job seekers may feel impatient and choose to give up this opportunity. In this way, enterprises will lose some valuable human resources.
