Experiment : hire 10% of candidates without conducting any interviews. Use Machine Learning to quantify internal or external candidates&#x27; code quality. Use that model to score candidates&#x27; GitHub. Hire them.<p>Well, OK, throw in a sociability &#x2F; not-a-psycho score using LinkedIn or twitter or whatever.<p>I&#x27;d outsource this to gild.com who seem to know what they&#x27;re doing.<p>Methinks management will be surprised at how well these 10% do despite not passing the usual &quot;What happens when I flip all the color bits in a red-black tree&quot; or whatever shibboleth is being used these days. Admit it : most work, even at Google, doesn&#x27;t involve knowing how self-balancing trees work. On the other hand, getting things done matters everywhere.
