It's fairly evident to me that many tech hiring managers today, and for the last 20 years really, are just stabbing in the dark and calling it science.

Absolutely.
It's just luck and survivor-ship bias.
The best way to recruit is to use a network, period. Having multiple people vouch for someone is far more valuable than seeing if he has a github. And even then - it might be a bad fit.
Companies never look internally when it comes to recruiting either. They blame other things, like developer "passion" and not fitting a "work hard play hard culture."
