What about the impact on the person for the false positive? Taking a new position can be hugely disruptive for someone, so making sure they are a fit (both directions) seems like the respectful thing to do.

Like I said, it rarely actually happens but when it does it's because the person really was incompetent (I don't worry too much about "culture fit" and other vaporous qualities).

As a manager, it's my responsibility to do what's best for the business.
