Why Google rejects so many qualified people
Google's philosophy: It is worse to hire one bad engineer than to reject two good ones.
A false positive (bad hire) is visible and damages teams. A false negative (good candidate rejected) is invisible and costs nothing.
Bock admitted: "In our search for false positives, we have had a lot of false negatives." Google knowingly rejects many qualified people to avoid a single bad hire.
