That happens a lot. And sometimes hiring managers get so fixated on one
candidate that they build that person up in their minds and convince
themselves that nobody else from the original pile was "suitable." This
is especially common when a new manager can't deal with the possiblity
that he/she might have passed up a good candidate in favor of one who
didn't work out.
