Smart and gets things done, by Joel Spolsky: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/10/25/the-guerrilla-guid... Still a great read. Base idea is that they're smart enough to solve problems and they get things done and don't just blab about ideas which they won't implement. So they'd write code to prove they can get things done. Brainteasers were okay, but bad at testing the latter. This somehow evolved into Leetcode culture or take home assignments. |

Hunter & Schmidt 1998 [1] pretty much boils down to this. Their meta-analysis, predating Spolsky, winds up stating that the only useful thing is a combination of work samples & an IQ test. Never the order and that smells a lot like "are they smart and can they get shit done?"
