You'd have to define succeeded? Still with the company? Stayed how many years? 9 out of 10 were successes in that they did their job well, were team players, moved up in the organization, or stayed a couple years or longer then were recruited for a higher position elsewhere after gaining experience with us.

Average is successful. I don't hire every single person expecting them to be a superstar or the next Tom Zuckerberg.

It honestly doesn't matter if they were average or not or what the history is of my hires. You're talking about frustrations with the hiring process and not getting a job. I'm trying to help you navigate the game by understanding what employers want and understand why they ask what they ask.

You can argue whether it's right or wrong, it's still the way it is and those are still the questions that will be asked, and you will still have to overcome dealing with those questions to get hired.
