"Levy started out the discussion by mentioning that when he was writing a book about Google several years ago, he learned that the company would obsess over not only where candidates went to school, but also how well they performed while they were there. Only recruiting at Ivy or Ivy-like institutions, Google was infamous for asking job candidates in interviews nit-picky questions like why they only got a “C” in one class or another.
Yet after tracking the performance of their employees against where they went to school and how well they did they, Google execs realized that top performance at a top school is not related to great performance at Google — at all.
“It’s one of the flaws in how we assess people,” Bock said. “We assume that if you went to Harvard, Stanford or MIT that you are smart. We assume that if you got good grades you will do well at work… There is no relationship between where you went to school and how you did five, 10, 15 years into your career. So, we stopped looking at it.”
