we can hire lawyers, doctors, and surgeons on the back of a CV and an hour interview.
You can do that with programmers too. And depending on the type of work you are hiring for, this can be sufficient.
Menial product maintenance is suitable for one-hour interview hires. Routine legal and medical work likewise.
But some work is so demanding that it requires a team. Hiring for a team means recognizing group dynamics. Whether you're starting a new law firm, or hiring someone to join your surgical department, or building a development team that must be able to respond quickly and effectively to changes to a startups understanding of the landscape, you don't settle the hiring question on a one-hour interview.
Not all work is the same. Please refrain from acting as if it was.
