Your company, and all the other companies in America are digging their own graves (classical unintended consequences, cooperation/defection in group think economics) by being assholes about the entire job application process pinching pennies.

It's not any individual person or any individual company, it's systemic group move to the new age system: a breakdown of good will around culture and ideology of "lets all work together and create a win-win situation".

What I see is that's going away. So instead of a hard working person who does the right thing, long suffering, honest, fair, even handed, intelligent. You're going to pay top dollar, as you would anyway, and you're going to get the opposite of all those virtues. Rather than a hard working Hodor, you're going to get a crossed and mad as hell Cersei Lannister. We're not here to work for you, working is for the idiots. I'm here to find and extort you from your treasury, because turnabout is fair play. It's the tipping point that gets the cooperate/defection train feedback loop back on the tracks.
