If you find yourself rejecting most candidates from Google and top notch notch schools, maybe the problem is not the candidates but your standards.

We weren't "rejecting most of candidates from Google" - I never said that. We were trying to pouch some really good people from them. The standards weren't the problem because we were hiring a lot of SWEs. Literally hundreds in few years. And companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc. do have a large pool of above average pool of engineers. But it's not like just because someone works there makes them necessarily a hire. Same with schools.
