Lean heavily on brand name and the preconceived prestige of a google position, give the same stock interviews that most companies give that are heavily tilted towards false-negatives rather than false-positives, and then pay well.
Speaking as somebody whose SO works at Google, I think it's fair to say that Google does not hire the best people, but hires a lot of people that think they are. CL's being delayed by a week or longer because of nitpicks regarding comment capitalization/grammar/wording, why didn't you follow the exact idiom of this totally non-related library/code component that I wrote, or just pure spite is common place.
Also, memes have almost completely subverted the english language at Google. Really, the window into Google that I have is hardly showing me "Best of The Best" material.
