Right, I feel that once the "outrage" starts in full speed, there's no way to sit down in a middle ground and talk about the idea, how it is bad, how could it be improved, etc. It's as if someone from outside the US suggests that Healthcare should be socialized (once the outrage machine is out, there's no way to have a real argument). From my point of view (someone who has had to interview and hire people for the last 10 years) the main idea doesn't sound completely broken. Here in HN we have discussed countless times how the interview process is broken, how it sucks for everyone (both interviewer and interviewee), etc. This person is trying a completely different angle, and that's good. I am happy to give it a chance. The way I would implement it is more like this: 1. Hiring Company defines, they would spend $X for a Mid level FullStack dev. 2. Hiring company provides SkipTheInterview $X + fee. 3. SkipTheInterview opens the Position"bounty" . 4. If a candidate wants to be hired for the position, they apply and have to get enough _backers_ to get to the $X amount. 5. Once the candidate gets enough backer money, they get hired. 6. After a "trial" period (where the candidate is paid normally as he has bin hired), SkipTheInterview gives back the bounty money to the backers *doubled*, and only keeps the fee.
