Official Bluesky account for Otherbranch (www.otherbranch.com). We're an ex-Triplebyte team making technical recruiting more fair, less stupid.
A quantitative look at our interview data so far: pairwise pearson correl for every question+section+overall score on our interview. Each interview section is blocked with a thick outline.

Goal here is: blocks should be green, between blocks should be yellow/off-white. (1/4)

This post (from Other Blue Site) gets the pain-point right, but not the cause. The problem isn't that HR people are lazy. It's that hiring has become a low-signal firehose that traps them as much as you. Neither candidates nor HR people can solve it without a better *structure*.
