I was doing this style of interviewing more than 10 years ago. I didn't think it was cool enough to invent some kind of name though. It's just a way to get people started on the talking though. It's been proven that junior people will follow senior people, and especially if some key stakeholder says yes it's likely other more junior people will feel disempowered to disagree. But since everyone had an independent interview looking at different skills, and of course the candidate might do better in certain interviews than other, all feedback is important.

Plus, if everyone votes up or down, it means that you don't have to spend a lot of time proving your case, you are just done. Everyone writing feedback down and sending to the recruiter is also a viable tactic for doing the same thing.

This isn't anything new or groundbreaking, it just seems like someone wanted to write a blog post.
