While this seemed to start strong, I don’t buy into the “structured” portion of this blog post. The referenced research does not seem relevant to hiring engineers. In fact, the opener for the first reference says they researched “ 19 male applicants for life insurance sales”positions”. This is a “mountain” of evidence in hiring engineers?

My own interviews have a list of topics I want to cover (non functional requirements, data experience, app design, infrastructure, etc), so I guess there is some structure. But I mostly run the interview based on their own experiences and projects they have worked on. So we will focus on applications and systems they have worked with in the past. And then I see how deep down those rabbit holes of their own system they can go.
