Process
Chaos. Because there is no standard, no process, and no policy for how to get a talent employee.
Also because the interviewee is not qualified in some cases.
Basically, you need to be able to speak English. Japanese, on the other hand, is not required, because some interviewees can only speak English in some cases.
