They certainly have a good chance of doing that (maybe even better than average) but it's apparently far from guaranteed. There's no way to understand what goes on in the heads of the HR people (including the ones with a license and medical in their pocket).
Many good candidates will ultimately get left behind at places they'll consider a consolation prize.
