All the systems have been gamed to death. The only thing left is connections and personality fit (ala gut instincts)

  The connections and personality fit are just as much gaming as the other parts of the interview process. That's basically social engineering.

    You'd be surprised at how many people I've interviewed over the years have been unable to hide the fact that they would be terrible to work with. In programming circles at least, I think the ability to socially manipulate and mask true character in an interview setting is way less common than the ability to practice questions and memorize answers.

      Yeah, that's one part of it. The other part of gaming the interview is networking. It gives you a massive advantage if you're posting into a role and the hiring manager or someone on the team knows you. It has nothing to do with your performance vs the performance of the other candidates. The other candidates might be just as nice to work with. This creates a ton of potential bias in your favor (aka gaming).
