I don't think it's 90%. I'm saying there is a very, very low bar, but I would say it's hit by 20%-30% of candidates that reached me, not that many. Obviously this depends on much you offer, whether HR prefilters, and the like. But this is not 90% of candidates, I think.
And I'm quite confident it's not the interviewer. Usually the panel is quite anonymous when it comes to calling a "bullshit" candidate. We ask panel persons individually to avoid the "no one wants to contradict someone calling X bullshit'" effect.
I don't think tech interviews are _any_ worse than the ones outside. If anything, we have less standardization than other industries. I work for a engineering company first (software second) and the engineer interviews are basically _manufactured by HR_ (not engineers).
