It was a mistake to hire, but they misrepresented thrmselves and aplied for a position they must have known they didn't qualify for. To be considered they must have significantly embellished their resume. Fire for incompetence, no severence.

It's hard for me to morally justify firing an employee for incompetence without severance... for an issue that was created by HR's incompetence. (And potentially the interviewing team, depending on how "mediocre" the rating was)
Opportunistic applications are totally normal, and yes I’m a hiring engineering manager. If those aren’t caught in the recruitment process, then it’s the process that’s flawed.
