The one thing that's always missing from this conversation is that the "reviewers", "raters", or "interviewers" _themselves_ might not have the skillsets to be able to adequately formulate a roughly accurate opinion of someone's strengths and weaknesses. Even worse, they might not be able to communicate the actual job requirements correctly, if they even understand the requirements and necessities themselves. Even worse than that, they often aren't as strong socially as they believe themselves to be. Being able to establish a comfortable atmosphere to connect with someone quickly is rare skillset within the human population, let alone in specific domains. There is a PRESUMPTION that people in the interviewer seat or management position can and should do this but honestly, after a few decades? I don't see it. We should be working to solve the "interviewer" problem first, not the other way around.
