Charge $x for a candidate to apply for your job. Put the money in an escrow pool. Pay it to the person you hire for the job.
Idea 2: Bid to have yourself reviewed for the job. Money goes in escrow pool.

- icedrift 2y agoBetting currency is a terrible solution, especially at the junior level when people are trying to start their careers. On the other hand, forcing candidates to invest time and in exchange guaranteeing their application will be reviewed could work well.

If the candidate doesn't have the application fee, there could be a secondary market of people who would back the candidate if they were confident they could get the job and the escrowed application fees.
