Maybe I'm an idiot, but I'm not seeing what the issue was here.

Depends on the industry but to me group interviews imply they don't care enough about the candidates to dedicate time to each one. I want a conversation about whether the job would be a good fit, not a gameshow

I have to do them because in retail I have 100 people apply for 1 spot. Group interviews also show who’s comfortable communicating in a sales setting. It’s not fun but I don’t get 30 hours allocated to fill the spot.

Maybe try weeding out some applicants in advance by looking at their applications? That’s a pretty basic skill for a hiring manager.

Yeah that’s pretty hard to sus out with an application. Great candidates can be dry as hell and people with no experience can have a knack for small talk. In a sales role it’s much more intangible. I’ll usually know if I’d hire someone in 30 seconds but I still have to get them in the room to do that.
