I understand the pipeline idea, though I think it does not work when the goal is to bring A+ players. A+ players are already employed most of the times. Rarely an event like a layoff happens, that's when they come on a market briefly. They are not going to sit and wait to be processed by the pipelines. And only the B's and the C's ever get through the pipeline to the end. The pipeline idea may have worked during financial crisis, when it was not easy to find a job. But in a current market -- wake up, if you are serious about innovation at a big companies, you are not getting the talent you need for that to happen.
