Google Gives Back by not Hogging Good Employees

According the Google, the company removes from consideration one of its superhuman job candidates every now and then, in an effort to avoid an over-concentration of brilliance. Bradley Horowitz, Google Vice President, explained this concept at the annual Supernova conference in San Francisco this week. He claimed that the company may intentionally leave some brainpower outside its walls, in an effort to improve the market landscape as a whole and keep things balanced.

This is very a very generous position for Google to take, especially given that they hire “the world’s best engineers” using a grueling interview process, complete with quizzes. Some of its most valuable employees had to short-circuit the system for their jobs, but that might just only makes it more perfect.

Thankfully, Google seems to be using their system for good rather than evil, by turning down job prospects and having a mind towards bettering their community. Courtesy of valleywag.gawker.com
