500 can be a lot unless you're talking about one of these companies with 50,000 employees. If it's a smaller company, that means they're hiring over 4 new engineers a month over a 10 year period.

    I'm 45 and have interviewed 500 people easily.

    And how many were hired? I think people keep forgetting he said he hired that many. That means many times more interviews and maybe many times more than that in resumes read.

    The real question is over what time period we're talking about. Too short and either you work at a huge company or can't retain employees. Could even be both.

    You know I missed the "hired" part there. That does sound like someone who never actually gives any particular candidate any time or attention and rather looks for a series of arbitrary checkboxes to fill.
