  Yes, and... I'm concerned that interviewing may perform worse than random. The worst co-worker I had in tech, the interviewer said "in my defense, he gave a great interview". I'm not suggesting we stop interviewing. Anyone can lie on a resume, and you need to weed those out. But: - current technical skill set is a poor proxy for the technical skills a candidate will have after a few months on the job - cultural decisions are coloured by prejudice, not just racial and sexual I think there's a soft limit on quality of decision that only very talented interviewers can surpass.
