If you get a piece of feedback from one person, you know what you would need to do differently to get hired by that person.

If you get similar pieces of feedback from 3 people, you now likely know what you need to do differently to get hired, period.

It’s not about getting specific, individual pieces of feedback. It’s about being able to triangulate toward what you need to do differently.

And maybe you get 3 pieces of feedback that are all completely contradictory. That tells you that what you need to do is keep trying.

That assumes there is no systematic bias. Which clearly there is.

This is a non-helpful statement. Humans are bias machines. We function based on our collective experience or in some cases differed experience. Saying there is systemic bias doesn't really add anything other than saying exploit what ever bias you can find to your advantage.

And receiving that feedback helps you realize if there is any bias and adapt accordingly.
Sure, there may be, and you will have proofs that it exists and may find a way, how to handle it.
