Which means you probably went 6 months or more without a role properly filled.
On a small team that's a huge dent. For half a year.
Not to mention the time spent in the hiring process itself, which you now get to repeat.

So either you pay the cost by trying more people more quickly, or you pay the cost desperately waiting and waiting because you’re so confident your interviewing filter is tuned correctly and that you know better regarding who to hire.
(In a small company, the process of hiring is often quite poor because it’s idiosyncratically controlled by the early employees and founders, and usually reinforces their cultural views and their biases of interviewing, so having a restrictive filter is even more harmful to small companies.)
