The interview is signal from the actual company - it's definitely got some information about what's inside.

  You are simply determining that you are okay with false negatives Which is exactly why they do irrelevant interview brainteasers as well This problem is a two way street in the tech sector, in case anyone wanted to fix it. The candidates alone are making the same mistake and bringing it to the company

    Is a "false negative" a positive?

      Its a quadrant. Positive, Negative, False Positive, False Negative

      It is a determination that something should be rejected, when it really should have been accepted. Similarly, a false positive is something that was accepted, when it should have been rejected. If you have a sufficiently high candidate pool. you can (for a while, at least) live with an interview process with a relatively high false negative rate (that is, x% of the time you don't hire people you should have). If it is typically quick to go from "in through the door" to "is a productive member of the team", it may be that you can live with a high false positive rate (that is, y% of the time you hire people you shouldn't have).
