> Using your example of background checks it’s probably more valuable to have proper acls and audit trail internally than doing background checks which is a really low signal compared to the level of hassle I agree with your idea, but background checks are a poor example. They're negligable cost, always outsourced, and trivial to perform. They're worth doing if only to validate that your candidate said the same things as the background check says (if they say they're not a felon and they are, that's a red flag -- if they admit to it and explain why, you're not being lied to). In contrast, you actually need to spend time working on audit trails and stuff. One is hiring a vendor and checking a box, one is probably engineering work.
