John Roche, director at AQ Metrics in Dublin and a 30-year veteran of the tech industry, gives a behind-the-scenes look at why the current technical interview is broken and what founders should do instead. In this episode of Chaos To Clarity, John shares why he calls tech interviews "garbage," why they test the wrong thing, how AI has already rewired the hiring equation, and what real hiring looks like when you strip away the theatre.

He also dives into why a team of A players will explode in two months, why founders should never give engineers the solution (only the problem), the painful scaling moment that took him from 40 reports to 250 in two years, and the three clarities every team needs before the next hire.
