When we had a role open (also a YC company) we had iirc about 400 applicants, we narrowed down to the 50 that were legal to work in the UK, and then interviewed about 20 of those.
Anyway, if all of those people applied to each of the companies in who's hiring, and got hired, the unemployment rate for this subset of applicants would still be 50%. And this was for a junior role as well.
