In the old days (like 3 or 4 years ago), as recruiters narrowed down a list of candidates, they would walk step-by-step through the best recruiting method available to them:
Do a face-to-face interview
Check references hand-picked by the candidate
Rely partly on instinct, and partly on hope that the candidate was sincere during the interview process
Make an largely uninformed hiring decision
Ultimately, this process didn’t allow recruiters any objective insight into candidates… other than what they were told.
