You cannot compare between years like that. There are ups and downs, currently we're certainly not in an up except for special skills I guess.
5 years ago all of big tech massively overhired, they let go a lot of people later, so that's not a fair comparison.
Also, you cannot expect a hiring manager to do everything. If the company decides I shouldn't be spending my time screening candidates then that's not what I do.
It sounds like you’re saying the job market imploded in the last five years. In that case, it seems like we should halt h1b visas until it recovers.

Maybe it’s different for you. I hire people I have to work with, so I am going to do whatever it takes to make sure I get good candidates. I can’t imagine a better possible use of my time.
