Facts as is..
The way you build and manage your interview panel is a direct reflection of the maturity of your TA philosophy. If you're not intentional about who's in the room, you're straight up gambling.
Do we even have panels these days?
Most interviews are 1-1 either in person or online. Team Leads or seniors have a 1hr slot in their calendar that they take out between meetings. Usually interviewer comes right from another meeting in completely different frame of mind.
They are either structured or random, have a list of questions/case studies to ask or just "improvise" looking at the CV.
The interviewee usually puts 6-8hr effort in preparing, getting into the mindset. He is anxious, nervous and hopeful. Whereas the other side looks at it as a chore.
Hiring is broken in a similar way as dating because there is a lack of effort and uncountable supply of options to one side.
