Fail. You'll miss someone who lacks some minor criteria but is stellar in other areas.
"No college degree." Toss. You'll miss a bunch of the really good people I know who didn't finish.
"No LinkedIn profile." Toss. You'll miss good people who honestly don't care about LI.
"Expert in JS, not so much in CSS." Toss. You just lost a JS guru who's smart enough to pick up the other things you need, as you need them.
Unless you filter carefully, this step will filter out the quirks, probably the creative, driven people you really want.
