It doesn't necessarily say anything other than "where you work now has some predictive value for how well you'll be perceived by interviewers" in which case these aren't "top performers", they're "people with jobs" and it's just regurgitating a truism about how it's easier to get a job if you have a job.
I'm not buying this as a moral outrage question, I'm wondering if this is adding anything meaningful for us to look at or if it's just a surface-level puff piece masquerading as an analysis.

As a candidate who's done a couple of interviews through them, the interviewers never asked anything about my background either. I don't recall even uploading a resume.
- kieselguhr_kid 5y agoYeah, but there's in-group jargon and technical approaches that FAANG and FAANG-adjacent engineers will pick up on. Just because you're anonymous doesn't mean you aren't unconsciously signaling your background to your interviewer.
