Something that's really important to remember when thinking about hiring is that the people YOU really really want, have lots of options, so their motivation level is fairly low.
The people who you DO NOT want have no other options, so they are extremely motivated.
Therefore, the challenge is to create an effective filter WITHOUT it becoming "hoops to jump through", because as soon as there are hoops, the high value candidates will self-exclude because they can't be bothered.
