  Am I the only one that reads a head line like this and thinks.... "Thats complete and utter BS" Titles like this are not helpful. Something like "One method we used at xyz to help eliminate bad tech hires" is much better. Also makes it sound less click baity

  The fatal flaw here is that most people who are currently employed have specific policies prohibiting them from doing work-for-hire for 3rd parties without permission. Add in clauses that make everything they do the property of their employer, and this concept really hits the rocks.

  I hope this idea takes off. The compensation part is going to be the hardest part.

  I don't think candidates will have a problem with it (I don't), but I don't know how many employers will go for it. I assume there's a pretty decent phone screen first?

  In any event, I sent a signup request.
