As software developers/ engineers we love talking about this issue... but realistically it's just a symptom of the growth in our industry. Anyone who pretends you can accurately assess a candidate in 3 hours worth of interviews is lying to themselves. The only real way to know if someone is good is to work with them and get to know them over a long period of time. I wrote a little bit about this here: https://jonpauluritis.com/articles/a-better-way-to-hire/ https://jonpauluritis.com/articles/a-better-way-to-hire/. Practically speaking this means the best way to recruit is via "networking," but networking takes a lot more time than posting a job advertisement and having someone solve some leetcode questions.
