Is there any evidence of how well this works? From what I've read these "formal" hiring strategies don't seem to lead to good results. In fact, the typical critique of tech hiring is that "HR" people have too much influence on the hiring process over technical experts.
I don't know how to solve hiring, but I'm confident that it's not been solved yet, and it's a very difficult problem.

- forgottenpass 12y agoHR tends to be the implementation of a formal rubric applied to job candidates, filtering candidates out before resumes wind up on the desk of the person performing a less rigidly defined consideration.
- tptacek 12y agoYes. Don't do that either.
