Question isn't if it happens all the time in small companies. What's under discussion is whether this is what we want in our (the startup/tech) industry, whether this is ok, or if there's something we should try to do about it.

First step is awareness, then next step is recognizing there's a problem. Your comment stops at the first step.

I was pointing out that the fact that this guy was conducting interviews was understandable in the context of a small company - I have picked up interviews for team members before when they were unable to make them.

I meant no implication about it being acceptable in small companies - it is unacceptable everywhere.

Having a pretty tough time understanding this comment... Are you saying that having someone fill in for an interviewer is a huge problem that we should "all try to do something about"?
