Huh? I think you're confusing the concept of "top of the funnel". Are you suggesting that I randomly select people to interview from a pile of resumes? What if I get a marketing person who has no software experience in the pile for a software developer job?

What if I get a marketing person who has no software experience in the pile for a software developer job? Well, yeah. If you don't have any better metric, the best result comes from filtering out everyone who just blatantly submitted a resume for the wrong job entirely, and then selecting from the remaining pool at random.
- DanBC 12y agodragonwriter suggested "don't use resumes, just seldect at random". You're suggesting "use resumes, then select randomly". You appear to be agreeing with mbesto.
- dragonwriter 12y agoI am not suggesting anything, I am asking where the evidence is that the practice of asking for and reviewing résumés has positive expected meet utility as a filtering mechanism, and your responses suggest to me that for you that practice is not evidence based but based in unchallenged intuition.
