I'd bet they are filtering them out not for failing to have the verbatim skill set (though that happens), but because they're be too expensive or (in larger companies) too good. It's been repeated many times that companies mainly look for those who smile, look the part, comply, bow, and are willing to work endless hours for pennies. It's also been repeated that management typically freaks out when someone talented shows up, then become obsessed with stomping them out, drowning them in BS, etc.
