I agree, but this is also a management failing, in not noticing the pattern.<p>I&#x27;ve been able to successfully hire good people by noting that some interviewers are never satisfied with any candidate.  Once the pattern is clear, I either remove them from the hiring process, or politely disregard their opinion.<p>Hiring only with 100% consensus is a sucker&#x27;s game.  Some of my best hires have involved judging which &quot;no&quot; could be overridden safely.
