Lot of effort into something you don’t believe in…

From the TR interview “Msg2me – How does your company attract talent?
RS: Serendipity actually. I have never believed in interviewing people and then hiring them. Interviews are useless, you just can’t learn about anyone in an interview. Generally we’d like to talk to their friends, facebook profile, their past work and most importantly talk to their partners who were engaged with them in a project”

Fine. I don’t quite agree with that approach but to each his own. But… he said he “has never believed” which seems to indicate that this belief was held forever, not changed recently.

and yet just a few months ago…

Had some 100+ interviews in last 2 weeks…” July 26th 2011.

Design, UI and animation team has also been expanded. (In fact in last 3 weeks, we have had around 80+ interview (I attend all))” March 3, 2011

(so just from the 2 above sentences I gather there were > 180 interviews…)

Err… why attend so many interviews if… you know… never believed in…? Or perhaps it’s necessary to attend 180 interviews to, you know, confirm that they’re useless…?
