So, you want something (good hires), and you do nothing to get them? You are contradicting your own advice.

If somebody doesn't respond to me, I take that as an extremely loud and clear signal of "not interested" or "can't be bothered". It goes both ways.

Yep, I feel the same way. If you can't be bothered to handle being respectful of my time, your company is not one I want to work for. I have my pick of jobs, and do not appreciate wasting my time.

For sales positions, it's not unreasonable to expect the candidate to show hustle.

For the most part, though, these explicit or implicit "personality tests" are just as well-thought-out as the dating advice from an issue of Cosmo. The candidate has to guess what the employer is looking for this month and try to match it.
