RE: HR replaced by Math formula?
"Excuse me sir, do you believe this formula can replace you and your entire peer group?"
"What do you mean 'No'?"
Really though, I think that if you could take the human out of HR then you could give this tool to the people in the department who need more people and they could use it, along with their technical expertise, to find the right person.
Engineer's bias of course but HR should not really be involved in hiring, only in solving human problems as they arise in any large group.

RE: HR replaced by Math formula?
The math models relies on the perfect job description, and a candidate that isn't embellishing his/hers response.
Ask 3 different people to write up your job description, along with what skills and traits are important to do the job sucessfully, and function within your team. Now compare the 3 description, and you. Do they match?
If it does, great - maybe this new formula might work.
If it doesn't, then the formula won't help much because the matching part isn't the problem. The problem is on the job description and the interviewee's response end of things.

RE: HR replaced by Math formula?
Well dad was working for a company that was approached by a college grad who had specialized in what would later become known as HR. The grad persuaded the company to let him do the hiring for a bridge project. Dad was informed that he would no longer be burdened with the hiring chores, the company now had an "Expert" to interview prospective employees.
Dad used to reminisce about that bridge. He said that it was the most personable crew he had ever had. Everyone was pleasant. Everyone came to work on time. He didn't have to worry about no shows and extreme hangovers the morning after payday. No visits from bailiffs, collection agents, process servers or the police looking for someone on the crew.
Dad said it was the nicest crew he ever had, before or since.
The only problem was that he didn't have one man who knew the first thing about construction in general, let alone concrete bridge construction.
