At their level you're better passing over a few good applicants than letting in some bad ones.

If you don't like it thats something we need to talk about changing in our industry, not just shooting ire at a single company. Mentorship is not common, and we consider 5 years of experience sufficient for a 'senior' position. Until that changes they are going to have to find some way to limit their hiring. (note: I don't 100% agree with these new practices, but I do understand where Mayer and Yahoo! are coming from)
