Spent over 4 hours of time out of current job to be interviewed by 5 or 6 people, some of them multiple times, one phone interview with CEO out of state, and it was clear that they just couldn't make a decision. Bottom line: Don't expect people to take that much time out of their current jobs, etc., to be asked the same questions 8 or 9 times, and then not even have the courtesy to get back in touch after someone has gone through all of this. Don't take a person past a couple of phone interviews and maybe one in-person interview if you don't think there is a strong chance you will hire them.
