We only hire the b̶e̶s̶t̶ trendiest http://danluu.com/programmer-moneyball/ …
But how could they know? They never check! We did, we hired plenty of people who couldn't pass a phone screen at a trendy tech company let alone an onsite and the people worked out so well that we had higher productivity than I've seen at any other company.

Was the plan, if the CV looks good, and they are not a jerk, then just hire them and the hit rate will be good enough? Was there any sort of technical-ish stage of the interview process?

Yes to 2, but when we tried harder questions (the kind of thing you'd see in a TrendCo phone screen), everyone failed (experienced candidates often fail these everywhere and we weren't trendy enough to get new grads who were going for jobs where you'd have to prep for interviews)
