Metrics and Hiring

Great post. Would also be interested in seeing a breakdown of school strength across the referrals. And did you count Stanford as Ivy League? :)

I would imagine that it's hard to separate cause from effect in the case of well-known schools and employment performance. The cumulative benefits of working challenging, rewarding jobs should pile up throughout a career. Naturally folks with an easy-to-sell pedigree are going to have a good shot at securing those jobs.
