Surely you can't evaluate whether it works "brilliantly well" until you have compared the success of your selected sample against another randomly selected sample.

You may find that carrying out interviews on the roll of a dice is equally as effective at letting you meet candidates who wouldn't otherwise make the CV-lead cut.

One of the things I looked for were candidates that previously would not have made the cut because of a crappy resume - and there were quite a few of those.

I didn't do any kind of controlled study - so this is definitely anecdotal evidence.
