Pull the view back a little more, best person for the job is often influenced by someone's internal bias (prefer someone young vs old or vice versa). Which is something hiring managers should be aware of their own internal bias as they go forward during the search and select.

Also it would be silly to not consider PR/optics in a hire like GM of your hockey team. It's been said theyve talked to Stan Bowman, which comes with a specific amount of negative PR contrasted with hiring someone like Conroy who does't come with that 'baggage'.
Really. No ####. Thank goodness you were able to find some time in your day to expound on this. Frustrating that another thread heads for the ditch with that dumb, short sited Bud Light comment and then we have to have the preaching come to remind us all of how to be virtuous.
