This that I've singled out above is a very confident statement, considering that inertia in large companies is a byword at this point. Further, "work" could conceivably mean many things in this context, from "per se narrows our massive applicant pool" to "selects for factor X," X being clear only to certain management in certain sectors. Regardless, I agree with those who find it obvious that LC does not ensure a job fit for almost any real-world job.
