I agree that in general, feedback loops are important. But you had better be absolutely sure that you're measuring the right thing, because once you put it in place, your hiring process will begin to optimize around it. So unless you can write down precisely what it means to be a good whatever, you probably shouldn't expect feedback to solve your hiring problems.
- tmsh 6y agoYeah, I think this is a more concise version of the point I was trying to make. And that perhaps "performance reviews" should be one of a couple of signals as feedback to the hiring process. There's just so many variables in play (covid-19, etc.) one has to be super careful about recognizing the right signals / causation, etc. Ideally one needs experiments about which signals or feedback to use in determining if it's a good hire in addition to experiments about different hiring process changes.
