The science is definitely leaning in that direction. Interviewing has historically been one of the primary tools for discrimination of all sorts, of course, under the guise of “culture fit”.
I spent much of my career interviewing candidates as an engineering manager, and the whole time, I felt it was a stupid process. You know in the first 30 seconds if their resume is BS or not, and the rest of the hour is filling time (by means of asking questions that you think will tell you what kind of person they are but won’t really). In the end you hire people based on their experience regardless and sometimes they work out, sometimes they don’t.
