It's another variation on "Looking for the watch where the light is better."
This really doesn't fit. If there are dozens of watches scattered around, of course you first look where the light is good.
These situations aren't at all symmetric. A false positive always costs you (the company). A false negative is only a cost to you if you fail to hire well for that position.
Also the fact that a candidate you passed on does well elsewhere doesn't mean you were wrong to pass on them (it could, but it's not clear).
