Thinking about how job interviews have changed since I started looking in 2019

Three years ago, I applied for a job at a local bookstore and the interview was just a chat with the owner in the back room. Last month, I helped a friend prep for a remote role, and we spent two hours on a practice video call with a prepared slide deck. Last week, I saw a posting for a similar store job that now requires a recorded video response before you even talk to a person. It feels like the whole process got a lot more complicated... Has anyone else noticed this shift in their field?

My gym's front desk job now has a three-round interview process (it's wild).

Wait, is that for the front desk or for a manager spot? That seems like a lot for a basic job.
