Like @ernsithe commented elsewhere re:sociopaths, narcissists excel at coming off confident, charming and possessing leadership skills on first meets and short-form interviews.
It's why so many narcissists end up as politicians or initially fool women into dating them.
An organization or person hiring is going to be hoodwinked often if the final hiring decision is based on "gut" feel from brief social interaction.
probably, and in any non-technical position this could definitely be a problem. I've also found that people who talk themselves up excessively usually can't walk the walk. a technical exercise at the interview will usually filter out narcissists in sociopaths in my experience.
Even if it doesn't, so long as I can work comfortably with the person and they can do their job, I really don't care if they are a narcissist or not.
