I read the fine article and all the comments submitted here before seeing some questions that can be answered by reading a FAQ I've posted here on HN before about company hiring procedures. The last full posting of that FAQ was a while ago,
and the tl;dr of the FAQ is "If you are hiring for any kind of job in the United States, prefer a work-sample test as your hiring procedure. If you are hiring in most other parts of the world, use a work-sample test in combination with a general mental ability test."
Readers of HN have asked me to put that FAQ somewhere on the Web with a permanent link, and I am revising it for posting to my personal website. If you have suggestions for how to make the FAQ better, I'd be glad to hear them, as I have already been doing further research on company hiring procedures.
