Personally, I don't think correlation is good enough. I never doubted that people who are good with a single given abstract problem are correlated with people who are good candidates. So yes, it non-arbitrarily identifies good candidates, but it also arbitrarily eliminates a significant chunk of good candidates.

- pc86 6y agoEliminating good candidates is not in and of itself a bad thing if it a) decreases your risk of a bad hire, and b) you want to optimize to decrease the risk of a bad hire at the expense of eliminating some potentially great ones.
