Gayle Laakman specifically has a business empire dedicated to help people get through the process. Regardless of the actual merits of the process her opinion is going to be biased.

Quite a racket, being part of setting up this gauntlet and then selling books on how to get through it. Some might call that a conflict of interest, but there's no such thing as ethics for the nobility so to hell with what the peasants think.

I don't think it's relevant. Her business is designed to get you to game and pass the interview regardless of whether or not the interview is effective.

Therefore her business interests are orthogonal to her opinions on "interviews." She may still be biased, but I don't think business interests color her bias.
