>>Tons of openings, but many companies lean toward denials, under the assumption that firing the wrong person is more costly than not hiring the right person.

This might be their claim, but they almost always end up hiring wrong people and firing them.

Its really simple, making hiring decisions based on an interview is really like deciding to go into a long term relationship with a person based on the make up they put up during a date.

If you are choosing on these qualities alone, then the prettiest person would get selected. This says nothing about the person at all, or worse, bad people are likely to put up more make up to hide other obvious flaws.
