Agreed. The study is showing how much people's views of resume X agrees with the author's full evaluation.

But what I or my company consider a quality candidate may differ from the author.

On another note, I've found that for recent grads, GPA, school, and major (all items on the resume) are excellent predictors of interview performance.

It goes further than just that - the stuff about Fleiss' kappa shows that not only do these people not agree with the author; they also don't agree with each other. Maybe all development shops are so different that there is no significant correlation between success at one place and success at another, but I highly doubt it!
