> e.g. there were times where 7 out of 8 interviewers said "pass", she said "hire" and she was always right.

Just noting: that situation around that assessment can affect the outcome.

For example, hired person appreciates the opportunity/faith extended to them, or otherwise picks up on the need to rise to the occasion.

Or a manager or other staff sees/treats the person differently because of the circumstances (e.g., gives the hire more guidance because they think the hire will need it, wants the hire to succeed because a founder has blessed them, or just sees the person more favorably because they trust the opinion of someone else).
