Who cares if they are the top 5% if they don't jive with the way you do things. That just causes extra stress and trouble later on, so it is better for both sides. Besides, the top 5% of what? Raw coding ability? I bet you the people they hire are in the top N% of people who should work there. I share the sentiment that you shouldn't just adopt whatever whizbang hiring scheme you read about. It takes experience to hone in on.
