> we could weed out most I-saw-there-was-a-light-here

The only hit for this phrase is this article's comments section. From context it clearly means people who are completely unqualified or a complete mismatch but applied anyway, but what's the direct interpretation/origin of the phrase?

Oh yeah, it did not occur to me that phrase wouldn't be one.

We have a colleague who, after interviewing a candidate so dreadful we wondered if they did not show up to the *wrong* interview, once said something like "the light was on so I just let myself in" to give a satirizing summary of what the candidate did (not actually) say.

That stuck and we have many variants now, including "I saw there was light here" or "it looked warm in here" and they all mean the same. I don't know where that colleague got that from, whether it was divine inspiration or one French expression he brought with him.
