I just don’t get all this shit. I’m a programmer and for years at my last job I did most of the interviewing for candidates and had the final say-so for whether or not we hired somebody. I could tell in a 15 minute phone call whether somebody knew what they were doing or not and could make a positive contribution to the project.

Yeah, I found resumes to be a pretty poor indicator other than kind of “subconscious” things I started picking up on after a while. I doubt any AI or program could manage that though. I can’t even quantity it myself. Talking to someone is infinitely better and I’d always try to get in as many interviews as I could.

My favorite thing about phone interviews was when I’d ask a question and the person would pause and I’d hear keyboard noises and whispering in the background. I was like c’mon dude, even if you get a job this way what the fuck are you going to do your first day at work if you don’t know how to do anything yourself?
