Most department, hiring or other managers and, more definitively, leads
that handle interviews _are_ technical people.  Unfortunately they are
still at the mercy of HR people who are often _not_ in the interview
room.

Again, I cannot stress the level of _unethical_ behavior many HR people
are to the process.  Not promptly informing a candidate of their
consideration once a decision has been made to reject them (especially
when it's HR's decision, not the manager(s)/lead(s)) is one that is
wholly _unethical_.
