What they should be focused on instead is curiosity, leadership ability, culture fit, and lastly, whether people can actually do the job, Bock said. “That has been one of the keys to our growth, making sure we get the right people in from the beginning,” Bock said. “If you get that right, you hire amazing people, they’ll be fine, and they’ll do amazing things.”
Google has learned along the way. In its early years, the company strongly considered where applicants went to school, going after top talent from big-name universities. Then it looked at the data. What Bock and his team found was that there was no relationship between where employees went to school and how those people actually performed in their jobs.

La curiosité, le leadership, un fit avec la culture organisationnelle et finalement, à la toute fin, les compétences techniques de l'individu, Voilà sur quoi vous devriez mettre l'emphase lorsque vous êtes en recrutement (Laszlo Bock- Google).
This should be rewritten truthfully as "We Don't Care Where You Went To College If You Are Applying For A Rank and File Job!" LOL
