Hopefully you mean the top 2%, or the 98th percentile. /snark
Generally though, I agree with this advice for small companies (i.e. your first ~5 hires). I would recommend making a list of experts on your stack who you would love to work with. Trawl GitHub, StackOverflow, HN, LinkedIn until you identify a list of candidates that are verifiably good at what they do. Then just start recruiting them, a.k.a. selling your company and vision.
For small companies, this aggressive approach seems like it would be both more reliable and efficient than the "pull based" approach of vacuuming up resumes.
