Whenever I see posts about hiring, the comments here tend to land at the "this is bad advice" end of the spectrum. Does anyone have any resources that give good advice? Or is hiring such an unsolved problem that we don't even have generally applicable guidelines, however vague they may be?

Successful stories about good hiring usually involves most of/the whole team being part of the hiring process and less delegated to HR people.
