Being repeatable is valuable in itself: it makes the procedure testable and inherently more transparent. Yes, someone could come up with a hiring decision procedure that has as its first step "first, immediately reject all women and nonwhites." But that'd be subject to auditing and discovery in a way that a single grumpy old man finding arbitrary reasons to reject all women and nonwhites is not. You can iterate and improve on designed systems; you can't iterate and improve on human fallibility.
