@sama how do you evaluate candidates? it seems like the highest signal step of the interviewing process at Pulley is the take-home assignment
Replying to @sama
Amen to that!
Replying to @sama
What are you describing as “traditional interviews”? Who is engaged with the candidate and what questions / activities are they asking / doing?
Replying to @sama
They should also take up references as well

One could try to think of the analogue of "advanced stats" from sports in the context of employee assessment and see how that affects the hiring process. Obviously, in sports, not everyone is on the court at any given moment.
