> There are some quality communities

Im the one of the most know leaders of Agile Community in Ukraine, I also leading Scrum Masters trainings together with Alexey Krivitskiy. Of course I had a deep look community and interviewed many people from there. As I mentioned in article, 50% of employed SMs were by recommendation, o from community

> Also the hiring process (like the one you outline) are generally terrible.

We have 3 steps in interview for candidate, 1 out of 3 is optional. 1st step - 30 mins screening just to understand if this worth time (were introduced after my low level candidates on interview. 2nd -tech interview, 1h with SMs and team mates. and only if we are not sure there is 1h more with teams and other group of people. I think 2.h of interviewing till offer is very fast. But Im curious why you think this process is overloaded? How do you proceed?
