"Interviews are practically worthless for screening candidates."

Bram Cohen, the inventor of BitTorrent, discusses his thoughts on interviewing, include:

• "In an interview you can tell if a person is a pleasant conversationalist, and you can give some technical questions to rule out the truly inept, but beyond that you might as well be rolling dice."
• "I'd like to note that in an all-male work environment hiring an attractive female is probably good for morale."
• "Even though work history doesn't correlate with job performance, being a lying sack of shit almost certainly does."

Fun. : )
