Hey! Good question. I wish I could give you a better answer but the truth is I don't know (yet). That's one of the reasons I built this. I want to learn how organizations deal with things like that, and share that knowledge so we can create best practices. I promise that soon as I know the answer, I'll circle back!

Make the max job size $600 and the contracting company technically won’t need to send a 1099…

Maybe your company/service can be the middle-man. Offer varying levels of checks that are optional for the employer to require or the Contractor to fill out. Identity as a service. Have things like "This person is authorized to work for U.S. Companies", "This person is certified in x." Your company would check the verification and make sure it's valid but then delete the supporting documentation or anything identifying. Never give any of the supporting documentation to the companies, just give them access to see basically checkmarks that show they fulfill x arbritrary requirements. But only if the applicant actually applies to the job, to prevent metadata scraping.

This is a great idea. I know people who would pay good money for a pseudoidentity that presents them as authorized to work in US, with expertise in some key technical areas (cryptography, robotics, real-time monitoring and response, etc.). There is a huge opportunity here.

    Thank you so much for your affirmation of that idea, warkdarrior. Your comment is really encouraging. Forgive me if this is too bold but is there any way you could connect me with those people? Or perhaps let me know where I should be looking for the people with that need e.g. any communities online. These are the people I'm building for :)

  Thank you so much for your suggestions, lajamerr. Really means a lot to me. Those are all brilliant ideas. That's actually the direction I'm hoping to take it. Ultimately, the goal is to accelerate the advent of the pseudonymous economy. And one aspect of that involves creating the necessary tools/ecosystem for employers to accurately verify/assess pseudonymous talent. I'd thought about verifying skills but your suggestion of verifying things like "This person is authorized to work for U.S. Companies" is even more interesting to me. Thanks again. You've really encouraged me. Your comment has made my day!

  At that point, you're like 95% of the way to reinventing temp agencies.
