Sure, but without seniority of the interviewer, would his/her reference carry as much weight?

Instead of banking on an interviewer's reputation, you would in essence be asking companies to trust your ability "to understand interviewer strength and what they are qualified to evaluate". Not so sure how well that'll work...

Fair question. We collect data about every interviewer (at a very granular level to understand what skills they are good at evaluating and how predictive they are).

Also, we provide interviewing history data as part of the evaluation. For example, if you knew the last 10 candidates a particular interviewer has endorsed have ended up at companies like Airbnb, Stripe, Google, Facebook, etc, would the interviewer's reputation still be in question?
