In UCB’s post, the section in quotes was a direct quote from a law recruiter, not the author. Ignoring that, the author is a Northwestern professor whose focus of research for the past decade has been hiring at elite firms. She’s written more than a dozen peer reviewed papers on the subject, as well as a 400 page book, which won numerous awards and is used as a textbook in classes at various other universities. Her research involved analyzing hiring practices at hundreds of “elite” companies in several fields, including interviewing hundreds of professionals involved in hiring decisions, as well as having them make decisions on mock resumes. I don’t doubt that her summaries suggest an agenda, but to say she is “completely clueless” based on personal experience at a much smaller number of companies is extreme.
