From the end of the blog post: "I don’t give a shit where you went to college as long as you’re talented." It's not clear what he is doing to figure out which of his applicants are talented. That's still something important to do, even if you disregard schooling credentials. Disregarding schooling credentials has some warrant in research on company hiring procedures, but as long as you are blessed with more applicants than jobs, you still have to figure out whom to hire. I suggest using work-sample tests to hire, and backing up those work-sample tests with a general mental ability test whenever that is legally permitted. The full rationale for my advice appears in a previous comment, a FAQ post I developed for HN that appears to be my all-time most popular comment here. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4613543 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4613543
