Job interview: Is this the same over there ?

whenever a company shows interest in hiring me, I typically go through a process that includes a minimum of three interviews, along with a test or a case study to assess my qualifications for the job.

Although it’s long, frustrating, annoying, I have no choice but go through that when I’m looking for a new job.

I thought it was the norm everywhere but I had a conversation with someone from the US who mentioned that they always went through just one job interview. it's worth noting that this person is not involved in the marketing or business field. She is/was a teacher. She told me she was very surprised about the process here.

What do you think ?

It's HR gone mad (Human Resources, or perhaps Human Remains)

Way back , you applied for a job, sat down opposite the guy (or gal) who would be your boss. You would chat. Then, often, you were told then and there whether you had the job or not.

Now its all gone mad. HR - jobs for the boys/girls. I applied for a job shelf filling at a supermarket. There was a panel of them, firing questions at me. Making notes. Bullshit.

@SW-User It comes from a place of mistrust and lack of will to train employees. They want effective, reliable, loyal employees right off the bat. Doesn’t work like that in my opinion
