The job interviewer portion of the article presents an idea that would not work well in my experience. It sounds like it would be optimized on people who spout buzzwords.

Well, "Powerful algorithms scan the videos and pick up the words or phrases that the interviewees are using, and how confidently they answer."

So, we'd get Mr. "I think we should use a data-centric neural network microservices API in the cloud with machine-learning big data Hadoop artificial intelligence thought leadership!"

And there is already too much of that (random collections of buzzwords uttered by folks who don't know what they mean) in the tech world already.

I get that it would be a more sophisticated system and my example is tongue-in-cheek (somewhat) but the results would not be far off. I'd rather see a Git Hub repo, a resume, and do an in-person interview. I do see the value in doing some form of pre-interview screening like a test, but I think it should be something with objectively-verifiable answers - not something where an algorithm is trying to do subjective analysis on the basis of statistical trends or probability.
