So author, who are you? You start already with an authoritarian touch. What makes you believe you are not an incompetent interviewer? How can an applicant assess your skills, you could easily be the greatest fuck up in the company. Is your company really that cool that I should want to die to work there? Did you first weed out all the incompetent staff that is duck sitting there playing business politics?
IMAO most companies are not any better than the applicants applying. And no, you didn't hire only the best from all candidates, you just have a rich imagination that favours your ego.
the title should have the (2010) appended to it. And just judging by the website, the author is a 3d printing nerd with interest in weird keyboards and wrote a sudoku solver in 2012: https://github.com/joshcarter
I once rejected a company because they had a big framed picture with 4 naked girls full frontal in the interviewing room. And because the manager pointed to it saying how "open minded" the company is.
