The real question becomes, what is an efficient filter that describes what a company really wants / needs, and how do you effectively implement it without falling into implicit bias traps. Really it's one of the great unanswered organizational behavior problems to be solved, and the real problem from my experience is that I doubt this is the question hiring managers are asking themselves.

I think startups are figuring how this out. Hiring on skill and not degrees. Then there is the sort of underground freelancer market. People getting paid for tasks.
