I'm reading Blink right now (highly recommend it -- very interesting so far), so perhaps there's more said on this later, but I'm not sure thin slicing will help here. pg says they're not very good at choosing people yet, so it's possible that they're thin slicing successfully without knowing about it (as is talked about in Blink), or that the format just isn't successful. Without a whole lot more information (which is tough to get in such a situation), I don't think you can really make a call one way or another. Regardless, it's an interesting idea.
