It doesn't matter if you are a junior person in the company or not. You are a team member, you should have a say in who gets hired.
How about think along these lines, that if I really find you good. I will definitely make sure that your strengths are played in front of the employer really well and you are given due chance.
If I am really good, you will be wasting my time by not giving me a chance to tell me what on earth the company I am interviewing for is doing. Interviewing is a two-way street. It is not only about me passing your tests but it is also whether I will decide to like the company. That time that I spend interviewing with you is time where I still have no idea what the codebase looks like, what the latest problems the company is tussling with, why I would be a right fit.
