TLDR: Select candidates heterogeneously, then give them all a very hard test, only continue with candidates that do very well (accept that you lose some good ones), then briefly judge on interviews/whatever.
I'm no expert but I've made some recommendations that turned out pretty well -- maybe like 5 ever. This post would probably be better if I waited 10 years to write it. Nonetheless, I think my method is far better than what most orgs/corps do. I have not seen a post on this subject on LW. If you have had mad hiring success (judging by what your org accomplished) then please comment!
Prereqs:

Outline:
(02:34) Do look at performance
(04:18) Accept noise
(05:25) Dont look at anything else (yet)
(07:46) Except that they work hard
(08:34) Conclusion
