I think it's an interesting question to turn around - for the current "good" employees, would Netflix's current hiring process allow them to be hired, or would the hiring team look at their resume and pass? Seems eminently testable too, just ask for resumes and anonymize them. You could even bring in current employees for interviews if they were willing to "red team". :-)
I am failing to find an original source, on what could be internet legend, but supposedly this happened at Google. Someone submitted the interview panel's hiring-date resumes to the panel (presumably with some minor names/dates swapped). Panel fully rejected themselves.

Edit: found a Linkedin post, which seems like little more than a FWD:FWD:FWD kind of deal, but whatever: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hiring-committee-google-fails...
