You graduate, get an external, preferably foreign post-doc, and return to interview for the next available position. Problem solved.

At least in my department, this will not work as long as the applicant's supervisor or dissertation committee members are still in the department. The crux of the issue, in my mind, is that it is hard to have candid and unbiased discussion about a candidate when the supervisor / dissertation committee is part of that discussion.
