are competency based interviews really a well established method of finding the best people?

By "established" I meant: defined and researched (the 50% accuracy I mentioned above comes from the literature). But they aren't "established" as popular/widely used. Partly because they require well defined competencies, but also because they aren't easy to conduct in comparison to typical interview (which has the accuracy around 20% AFAIR).

could you link to some of this literature?

competency based interviews are standard for junior positions with large companies in the UK. however, this approach often turns interviews into a bullshitting competition.
