Look. I've seen a lot of your comments in this thread, and I don't think you're listening. You don't seem open to hearing.

What I read is a knee jerk justification for your hiring methodology without being open to any feedback.

You should take a breath. Clearly people disagree with you. Try to empathize with where they're coming from and understand the point they're trying to make.

Ok, so what's the ideal hiring practice then? According to some here, it's just a little talk about previous experiences, not going into technical details at all. Sorry, but then you end up with people who are technically very weak. Been there done that.

Look, I have a lot of experience with the hiring process. It's very difficult. I will listen to someone with a lot of hiring experience. But just saying "it's broken" isn't going to cut it.

And remark that a big part of our hiring practice is to put the candidate at ease. I even say that they won't get everything right, and that's no problem. I help them out when they get stuck, etc.
