What happens to the resumes that don't make the cut? I know that I'm always in search of some great additions to our team and while the resumes might not be a fit for you, they might be a great fit for me, and YCombinator is an amazing magnet / funnel that attracts a relatively higher quality of candidate, regardless of whether or not they made the cut. Around these parts, it's hard to convince tech talent to join a startup at all, their skills notwithstanding.
I know that resumes are probably shared with a reasonable expectation of privacy, but perhaps you can let it be known that there are other, non-YC startups that might be interested in these resources if you would be willing to share and float a few other boats with those that weren't a good fit.

Just a thought.
