I agree with you, this cannot be regarded as a healthy approach to hiring and comes off as delusional.

At the same time, it might sort of work, just that since they a bit randomly discard a fraction of the job applicants, the company will end up paying more, for those it hires (supply and demand). But maybe the company doesn't notice (and in the end what does it matter anyway)
