> Yes, now your process is indistinguishable from existing hiring pipelines.

How so, when there are no interviews? Everyone seems to take interviews to be the most important part of existing hiring pipelines. Interviews are certainly the most time-consuming and expensive part of existing hiring pipelines.

To be clear, I was only entertaining the dartboard selection part of the proposal and not "for at least two years without no possibility of having to fire them". You should definitely fire people who can't do the job.

I think you're also assuming that if "word gets out" then you will only attract more bad candidates, but it will also attract more good candidates who hate the existing hiring pipelines, some to the extent that they even refuse to apply for many jobs.
