> By definition, anyone hiring anyone wants to only hire the best. Nobody wants to hire only the mediocre.

...unless the best ask for more money.

When I hear "we only hire the best", I assume that the company is willing to pay very competitively. The other end of the spectrum would be companies that try to do everything with juniors or outsourcing teams.

eh from my experience you can just say that, because there are no consequences and the startup won't be around long enough to get called out on it
