Microphone Sensitivity

How much you hear. Controls whether you pick up on the quiet signals — tone shifts, what someone didn't say, the things most people miss.

Microphone Sensitivity is about how much you actually pick up — the quiet signals, the things most people miss.

Jeffrey Hollander's advice to bring other people into the hiring process was essentially a recommendation to use more ears — to get signals Tony was filtering out on his own.
