Blind auditions make sense if the candidate will be working independently, but they (deliberately) don't assess cultural compatibility.

Do you prefer the most skilled person, or a very skilled person who gets along well with your team, understands your industry, and cares about your mission?

Orchestras are not a collection of independent workers. Everyone works together as a team and chemistry is very important.

When teams are largely made up of a certain kind of person, using this as criteria for hiring is a sure fire bet to make sure your team stays homogenous and never grows outside of its little comfort zone.
