In this case though, how is 'lots of money' wasted? It seems that Google hired good candidates despite some of the questions being bad. I think the point here is that Google is looking to increase the efficiency in interviewing, but they're already at a high efficiency level anyway so they continue to be successful in attracting and keeping talent.
- bluGill 8y agoWell sure, there are a lot of good candidates. Most bad candidates don't even apply. What if instead of reading resumes/interviews/whatever else they did they just put all the names into a hat and made offers to everyone selected? This is your baseline, does your process beat this? If not, you could save a lot of time/effort using the hat selection method. (note that it is possible to be worse than the hat method)
