Usually just append "... for the position" when you see "we only hire the best".

Or really, “we only hire the best given all our criteria and constraints.” Then it’s solidly in the realm of tautology.

Not all criteria is binary, though. It's perfectly reasonable to say that "we hire the best for our given criteria". And probably more honest than most job promos. In fact, most meaningful criteria _isn't_ binary.
