> company B had lots of competency "false positives"

The thing to note is that, in exchange for this, Company A (probably) had a lot false negatives. So it comes down to whether you'd rather missing out on someone that would have been beneficial for the company (false negative) or have to deal with accidentally hiring someone that is not a good choice (false positive). The best choice to make depends a lot on the situation.
