or the company fails because they can't hire a key employee.
Companies that are competent in their business operation (not their domain, but the operation of running their business) will not suffer this hardship because they planned for it, and have put in redundancies or backups for business continuity.
It is indeed harder for a human candidate to do the same - but not impossible. That's why the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) principle has the idea that you need to have at least 6-12 months of emergency funding. If you get rejected, this funding can keep you going and you're not shit out of luck (and be forced to accept a subpar offer).
