Incompetence in hiring and HR is par for the course pretty much 
everywhere, lots of threads about it on proggit/HN/blogs these 
days.  Take for example the recent sexual harassment scandals in 
the US, where HR depts did nothing for decades.  People rightly 
complain about much smaller stuff than that not getting done well 
by HR, so of course they don't handle real malfeasance properly.

The biggest joke is that these companies all claim they want the 
best talent, when they have no idea what the best is in the first 
place:

It is one of the main reasons for the rise of open source, 
because you can't stop anyone from contributing or forking, 
assuming they have the extra time/money to do so.
