Rejecting more people is not the same as being more rigorous. They can be the same if your rejection criteria are well-chosen, but I don't have much faith in "the CEO glances at your resume." For all the problems that Yahoo! may have with recruiting talent, I have a hard time believing they can be solved by any filter process whose sole input is resumes.
