Maybe it's better that these great students at "unknown schools" DON'T get hired by google/facebook/amazon/microsoft ?
Maybe their talents are best directed at small-ish companies where they can contribute, grow, and do interesting stuff outside of monstrously large companies with cut-throat competition?
Having ALL the "top" candidates vacuumed up by the "top" employers just seems wrong to me. I feel it's more healthy to have the best students spread out all over the place rather than concentrated in the top 5 or 6 employers in Silicon Valley. After all, there are more employers than there are colleges.

- fnbr 9y agoMuch, much worse- in my experience, 3-4x.
- s73ver_ 9y agoI think it would be better for those candidates to make that decision themselves.
- crispyambulance 9y agoWell, sure, but they can do that with or without recruiting events sponsored by the top-5 at their schools. I guess I am also trying to say that these students should not feel so deprived if google recruiters aren't easily accessible, there's plenty of great places to work.
- s73ver_ 9y agoBut not many with the clout and paycheck of Google.
