This gives me a slightly evil business idea: Fake Employment
Create a tech company with a sufficiently heavy load of buzzwords describing what you do. Basically copy the website of a random consulting firm.
Then charge people for the privilege of getting hired. You could charge them $5000 a month under the table and cut them a check for $4900 in "salary". If you are brave you could take a form of credit in payment.
Then when your employee gets hired away from you it looks like they were never unemployed.
Sure some people would see through it, but the people smart enough to see through it would presumably be smart enough not to implement a stupid policy of not hiring the unemployed.
- gst 15y agoIf they pay you $5000 you can't pay them $4900. There are quite some taxes that you also have to pay.

One example: http://www.thereferencestore.com/ http://www.thereferencestore.com/ It's dishonest, but it is also an example of the market adapting to what is happening. People who need work badly enough may not be too worried about the ethical concerns of using such services.
