Why would a person interviewing for a director position let a recruiter do a tech screen? Wouldn't it at least be respectful for the hiring manager to do this evaluation? Something is very off here.

Or does Google use the same "we have a generic interview and if you get through we will then decide which team to place you in" crap for director level hires as well?

Google almost certainly receives many thousands of applications for the position. It sounds like this particular "prescreen" may be badly designed, but after a prescreen you'd certainly expect to talk to more technically-literate and -competent people.
