The problem with using trivia as a hiring filter is it doesn't do a good job of differentiating between those who don't know a thing, and those who know nothing, unfairly penalizing the former.
- ozim 8y agoBut it is easy to filter out those who think they know something when they blurt out correct responses like machine. But in reality they just lerned canned responses. Usually you want to discuss problem to see reasoning. If there is no reasoning just canned response, that is big red flag. That person probably lacks any depth of knowledge and doesn't understand why the question is asked.
