The author more-or-less nails the problem with 'industry-wide persistent fear mongering about not hiring “secretly incompetent people,”'
The fear of a false positive (hiring someone they regret hiring) so vastly outweighs other considerations that there's a whole process involved to make it possible for everyone involved to avoid responsibility. Companies still hire incompetent people, but when they do the people can blame "the process" and then add more process to fix it.
