I was sad to hear about a second candidate in a few weeks that I knew personally was awesome and didn't make it through the Google hiring pipeline. I feel like we do a bad job at recognizing talented people with broad skill sets, like PMs with engineering skills.
Interviews are a crapshoot. After interviewing people for 15+ years I decided the only thing I really trust is referrals from people I trust. That never disappointed me and is a lot more reliable that any interview technique

The problem with this approach is, that this makes it much much harder to hire a diverse set of employees. The more diverse your network is, the more diverse is your candidate pool but there will always be a strong bias compared to the open market

I agree. It's a challenge with in person interviews, too, though
