If you hire someone and they are a talented, hardworking, likable teammate, the other employees will not care what the interview process was.

If you hire someone and they are a poor worker and a pain in the ass, you should get rid of them regardless of the interview process.

I think you're letting the tail wag the dog here.

Well ... yes. We work really hard on the process precisely so we can find find people who are capable, easy to work with, and self directed.

Part of doing this is being consistent with people. The people who work here welcome a new hire _knowing_ that they've already proven what they can do, and having witnessed it in action. They don't have to rely on weak signals or someone else's gut feeling.
