Hire Better Faster Stronger
summary
Calls to ditch the top 5% myth and define hiring by team‑specific core requirements and concrete nice‑to‑haves, not vague prestige metrics. Job adverts state dealbreakers and must reach beyond GitHub/StackOverflow; CVs shortlist for a phone screen only. Process documents, calibrated question banks and a numeric grading sheet reduce bias; interview panels include diverse roles. Prefer realistic coding with a laptop or a 4–5 hour take‑home task over whiteboards; candidates speak their thought process and get the schedule up front.
