The hypothetical company you've described here sounds very irrational to me: discarding a candidate with 10 years of experience (at a very highly regarded company, no less) without ever even speaking to the person. Why should anyone optimize for the irrational job-hirers out there? This does not sound like a path to happiness to me. Besides I find it unlikely that the kind of person who is happy at a small company like 37s for 10 years would want to work at this hypothetical irrational company.
