As long as you aren’t illegally discriminating, it’s more important that you avoid hiring shitty people than it is that you eliminate all bias.

You can’t single-handedly solve the systemic problem of unequal access to opportunity.

And indeed they seem to have produced a test that is correlated with success.
You are right it’s not trivial, but on the other hand if you simply try to make such a test you’d do better than completely uncorrelated pretty easily I’d suppose.
