I once referred a great candidate who struggled in the first interview just because they were nervous. The hiring panel almost passed, but after a second conversation they realized how strong the person actually was. It reminded me how easily talent gets missed when we equate confidence with capability. Have you seen this happen in your teams?

I had this with an interview too! Luckily the hiring manager was able to look past it and hire me anyway. Yay!
