While hiring is indeed a big problem that can be addressed with a data-driven approach, I'm not sure the approach of "we have data, just trust us" is fair to all parties.

The naming of Engineering Genome Project is styled after Pandora's Music Genome Project. The difference is that Pandora uses data to provide relevant and immediately verifiable results by the user, such as music along the same genre and artist. In contrast, an Engineering Genome Project uses criteria such as "applied problem solving" and "professional code" that is impossible for a user to interpret intuitively.
