Selection is hard

It's not that hard. People in your field just make up a bunch of shit that over complicates it and gets in the way to justify their existence. Anyone halfway decent at hiring can interview a candidate and have a decent idea of if they're a good fit or not.

That's completely and totally false. Please read the cited meta analysis, which is directly on that topic. What you proposed is literally the worst means of conducting selection outside of flipping a coin.

Literally everyone I ever hired performed almost exactly as I expected them to, but whatever guess I should have been flipping coins.
