When offering a job to an applicant one considers their basic qualifications, but also intangibles like personality, poise, assertiveness, etc. How can anyone look at an applicant pool and decide that the most qualified person wasn’t hired unless one actually sat in on the interview and hiring decision processes?

And yes, one also needs to consider the general diversity of the company makeup. This matters, and it matters a great deal. A diverse company will make decisions different than a company dominated by straight white males.

I weary of people complaining about companies “not hiring the most qualified”, simply because “qualified” means a lot more than simple training and experience, it also takes into account who a person is as a human being.
