Most good startups do hire this way. At least, at first. As you mention, it's hard to scale. A handful of larger companies seem to know how to recruit at scale.

But it is definitely expensive, and above all requires total organizational commitment. Recruiting becomes a substantial budget item, and very few people in the organization consider themselves "too important" to get involved with it.
