anecdata from the current hiring season is that CS hiring at less prestigious institutions has become qualitatively different from that in other fields. one faculty described receiving a total of four applications from actual CS PhDs (not just top five) [0].

even at stanford, perhaps. i was astonished to see that a stanford junior is the listed instructor for EE 364A (a PhD level course in convex optimization, aka CS 334).
