also, how would you measure someone's slope? would it even be fair to evaluate them by it?

  Even if it was linear, you can’t tell the slope of a line from one measurement, and an interview is one measurement. You’d need two interviews separated by some time, which is obviously impractical.

    And even if you could, once interviewees know you're doing this, they could easily game it by intentionally bombing the first interview.

    > You’d need two interviews separated by some time, which is obviously impractical. My experience with multi-round interviews being stretched across multiple weeks strongly suggests otherwise. Further, this is kind of the whole point of a probationary period, no?

      My feeling is that multi-round interviews and probationary periods are less about getting a more precise view of a workers growth, and more about being extremely risk adverse in hiring.
