I have yet to see any place with a good hiring procedure, this nonsense included. People saying they work in HR should generally be looked at as if they just admitted to being in a cult, which is terrifying because it means cultists will be deciding whether you get to do the thing you do to keep from starving in the street.
To be honest, you're not entirely wrong. It's so risky to ever be "mask off" in corporate settings.
I mean, what else do you have to evaluate a resume and some thinly sourced references except chicken entrails and prayer? It's not exactly a hard science.
I've never heard it described like this but you nailed it.
