I question your assertion that companies are looking to select ethical employees. In fact, I would argue they are looking to select unethical employees who know the game well enough to play along for the appearance of ethics (see: expectation of lying in a job interview)
Given the choice between someone who will have ethics and someone who will make money unethically, companies will choose the latter every time. And the people who are willing to be unethical to get ahead are the ones who get rewarded internally once hired.

Its not inefficient, its very efficient, in fact, at selecting for subervent mules who respond well to the stick and don't need many carrots to stay in place.
