I take one issue to the Google policy outlined here - There is danger, if you disallow candidates who don't have full consensus of the hiring board, of creating groups and rooms full of people who have the same skills, the same values, and the same thinking. Mitch Kapor put it well at startup school - mirror-tocracy instead of meritocracy.
Hiring diversity (of thought) is as important as hiring quality.

- far33d 20y agoA room full of people that are really smart in exactly the same way isn't much smarter than just a few of those same people. A room full of pretty smart people with diverse experience and knowledge is WAY smarter than any smaller group. Read Surowiecki's Wisdom of Crowds.
