This is an interesting idea. However, I see a couple of major problems: 1. It strongly incentivizes bad behavior for bad hires. A completely unqualified candidate would be extremely motivated to obtain an interview, since even getting to do a first round of screening might result in them being paid $100 or more. 2. It doesn't sufficiently disincentivize bad behavior for employers. Companies like Google spend A LOT on interviews. A few hundred bucks more per candidate is not going to significantly burden them enough to change any practices, especially when the cost of hiring a bad engineer is so high.
