While this is very effective at filtering out poor applicants, it is also very effective at preventing good applicants from applying in the first place. Why would a great developer who probably already has a great job quit for a chance to maybe get hired at Google? In most cases they wouldn't. And at the scale Google hires, they can't afford to lose all of those potential employees.
