Think of each as a function that take a candidate and outputs a score which is perturbed from the "true" score by an error function.
In this case, the individual scores are correlated to the performance, and the distribution of the mean depends on the expectations of each "error function". The expectation of the mean of Si does not converge to P, but to P + the mean of the expectations. The CLT reduces the standard error of the mean but does not reduce the bias.
[...] while there is no correlation between the scores that any individual interviewer gives candidates and the job performance post-hire, there is a strong correlation between the mean scores given by the four to five interviewers who interview a candidate and post-hire performance.
So, the performance does not correlate with the individual scores but it correlates with their mean ? How does this even work?!
