Blind audition is BS, because you're never ever comparing apples to apples, and frequently because the problem set is little like how you actually work. If the end goal is to find someone who can do the work well, be a pleasure to work with, and contribute to your organization or company in a meaningful way, we have not optimized for that. We've optimized to hire kids out of college who are experienced taking tests, or for people who have worked on the exact same stack you've worked on. You will never be unbiased in a hiring process, because the bar you set is not universal, and always be biased in some way. Being "as blind as possible" isn't the right metric, and we shouldn't hire based on it.
