I'm senior enough that if I rate two people strong hire, I'm capable of getting more budget. This has in fact happened recently -- we couldn't decide between two great candidates, so we offered and hired both.

That depends on the size of the company, no?

Yes, and in some cases, the company needs one person now, and another one a bit later. Then can be nice to have a list of people who did well, to contact again
