In the Salem witch trials the accused were executed. This was a job application, not a criminal trial, and the worst thing that would happen to him is not getting a promotion. Even in a civil trial the burden of proof is just more likely than not. In a job application, it's "do I think I can get a better candidate or is this one good enough?" I've been on interview teams where someone got the thumbs down because they were qualified but a few of the interviewers thought they were kind of an annoying windbag. If Kavenaugh gave that performance at my workplace he'd get the boot at round one...."yup, that's it, just a quick chat. HR will get back to you."
