> Doing well at interviews has low correlation with being good at the job, simple as that.

That's true, but only because companies are bad at interviewing. It is possible to do much better than companies typically do at this. It's just a really hard skill to master, and involves more than just standardised testing.

A kinder rephrasing of "companies are bad at interviewing" would be that finding out who is a good fit for a company (and vice versa) is a very difficult problem, more so given the resource constraints.
