"who will fit well within the organization"

Don't want any minorities to slip thru our carefully crafted filter, only "bros". Because a fraternity ^H^H^H company exclusively staffed by bros is awesome.

"who will be loyal through ups and downs"

Being gullible isn't necessarily a sign of productivity or quality. But for a very weak manager, better someone gullible than not. Of course a weak manager is going to fail anyway, so it doesn't matter in the long run. So yeah... go ahead and select for a trait only losers select on, what could possibly go wrong? (and see above WRT only hiring "frat bros")

"who will perform the best at the job."

LOL a one day interview is going in the wrong direction, so we'll go further in the wrong direction by making our interviews three days.

I know, I know, we're digging ourselves deeper into a hole, so lets just shovel a hole three times deeper and see if that sole change makes things better.
