I think during education yes, during execution of the skills learned in education - not really but also depends. A lot of people hate how tech interviews are done, right? Cause they have nothing to do with the job the majority of the time. Those are places where I can see improvements. However, some jobs do genuinely need you to interact with a diverse set of people all the time, for those you need to make sure for the sake of your company & the candidate that they match the criteria. Other jobs, you need only maintain strong relations with small groups, and the requirements for those are a lot easier to hit - even the most introverted people can do well in smaller groups that don't change a lot. I do really think a lot of evaluations that happen during education though makes a confrontational relationship with learning. You're constantly judged about your _ability to learn_and that has far reaching impacts beyond your first twoish decades of your life. You get scared of making mistakes, you get scared of taking risks, etc. So, evaluate when it's important for the function & safety of the job, and the candidate. Skip evaluation when its evaluation for the sake of evaluation.
