I'm sorry but it really seems like you are making a mountain out of a molehill here just to be argumentative

I assure you I am not trying to be argumentative, I am trying to help people understand why I and the author of the article believe that it is a flawed hiring practice. I have raised some good points, you can reflect on them and utilize them or you can discard them as rubbish. But I can tell you this, I have a lot of success in recruiting and I have learned by committing some of the very mistakes that I now advocate against. I used to buy into the Cargo Cult hiring practices, until someone smarter than me taught me how to truly identify talented individuals.
