Hey thanks for the reply. I don’t really understand this answer to be honest. How do you compare fairly between two or more candidates applying for the same position with this method? If you’re judging all applicants on the “would you want to work with them scale” what are the common parts of the scale across applicants as it applies to this technical project? How do you ensure the judgement of wanting to work with someone is fair within a pool of applicants for a position?

Hmm, I think we're just looking at it differently. Why does fair mean "everyone is graded exactly the same, whether they're good at this certain type of problem or not"? Couldn't it be argued that the most fair way to judge people is to treat everyone individually?

Given all of the vagaries in the hiring process, do you believe that e.g., algo approaches are actually fair in the way that you intend?
