Like I'm not the equivalent of a one night stand job seeker. You need to wine and dine me with multiple phone calls, technical interviews, all-day in-person interviews, and interrogating all of my references before I'll even think of playing hard to get by threatening to leave the negotiating table in order to get my fair share of TC and ultimately agree to join your company and stay overnight on a major production screw(up).

If it takes thirteen interviews for someone, or a group of people, to know if I'm worth hiring, then I would assume they have no idea what they're doing.
That seems like a waste of everybody's time.

Someone jumping through lots of hoops to get a job is greedy? Why would that make sense?

Not exactly sure if you're being sarcastic or not. But I am for the wining and dining part, accompanied by a good interview it can be fun. The other 12 parts can be skipped.
