That really depends on the industry. If your idea of tech is web apps and mobile apps, then yeah, most candidates would do the job.

If you're working on cutting edge technology, then finding ten adequate candidates is actually pretty tricky, because by definition the applicant pool is very small. Doubly so for fields that have high demand compared to the supply.

Sure, and I have been in both positions.

But the reality is that the vast majority of tech jobs are in the first category. There are far more people building web sites than kernel network stack hackers.
