Sure. - What's your hit rate? (Detected an actual bullshitter) All of them, I definitely had a few bad hires, but never due to underestimating capability, also most of them were from the early days. - What's your false alarm rate? (Labelled someone a bullshitter who wasn't) I see no way to come up with any good number for that, but I think at ~10% hiring rate from the interview I'd call myself pretty average from a perspective of selectiveness at that part in the funnel. > This is again pretty easy to BS. This is not the point of the question, I could care less whether 10% are slightly beautified. My focus with this questions and the follow ups are whether candidates can reproduce insights, learnings, hacks and fulfillment of business objectives in a logical and coherent way. If the story is fabricated, it usually falls apart when I ask "why" and "how did you actually do it?" It's hard to fake expert knowledge about the stability of current sources when I drill down on the details of a candidates' recent Arduino project.
