I dont think the CEO should be doing the hiring... it should really be the tech lead -> CEO later to confirm?

Ill clarify bluntly because apparently this was worth a -1.

"when he can pay $150k for that guy, and he can't really tell the difference between them?"

Your tech lead should be able to tell the difference and see the actual value in programmers and explain that to the money people. That is why this lemon theory entirely requires a bad hiring structure.
