It never ceases to amaze me that a profession full of people that studied something called “computer science” is also filled with people that refuse to read the literature when it comes to hiring and instead lean on gut feelings, anecdotes, and cargo cult-ing.

I've researched a lot about this since I've had to do hiring, but I haven't been lucky enough to find anything collectively definitive or comprehensive enough to describe as "the literature." Most of it leans towards "what not to do," which is helpful but leaves some gaps. What do you recommend?
