alt Hacker News> Almost none of them have shown even the slightly indication that they are aware there there is scientific research on what works for an interview,
The topic of the article is about adapting interviews in the age of LLMs.
Scientific research on interview techniques requires years of retrospective analysis after the hired employees have been evaluated in their roles for a long time.
That research does not exist on this topic. It's too new. I don't think this is a valid criticism of the actual article.
I'd add that even those years of retrospective analysis will be insufficient, because "hiring successfully" is fundamentally about measuring membership in a particular social group. You can never pick the right observable dimensions to measure in your analysis, it will ALWAYS be lacking. Sure, you can measure work done, tenure, etc, etc, but that does not mean a hire was successful.
You might have 2 people with opposite personality traits ace the interview then get put on a team together, now all of a sudden your whole team is worse overall. That's a massive effect but your study will just see it as noise.
The reality is your best hires will just be intelligent people who belong in the group and who push the mission forward.
