That doesn't actually mean anything. Kaito was one of the first not harvested for food humans Pitou ever saw. But even without having anything to use for comparison, he did gather Pitou's interest immediately.
However, being one of the top hunters is a stretch. We have already seen some powerful people only go and get the membership for purely their own selfish reasons. This means the organization has no influence over them, after the selection process. Like Hisoka and Killua's brother (actually Killua's dad and grandpa might also be members as it would help them in their work). I'd like to think that aside from the chairman and very few others, the organization can't really send any strong people anywhere, only mediocre ones who either are interested in gaining an office in the organization or have no ambitions of their own. Others they would need to entice on voluntary basis or simply pay them heftily.
