I suppose you could frame just about any behavior as "fear-based" if you really wanted to?
In any event, I think the way around contractual obligations is to work on a small open source project together.
And to your second point, some employers only want employees that really want to work at their company in particular (e.g. Zappos).
- logfromblammo 13y agoThus excluding everyone with a shred of self interest or any experience with drinking the corporate mystery beverage. Clever, but you won't end up with "the best." Somehow, I don't think that "the best" would forego thousands of available opportunities to work for a company that won't even consider hiring someone who might be able to compare their offer to someone else's.
- swampthing 13y agoA lot of people find it within their own self interest to work somewhere that is careful about hiring. Personally, I find that job satisfaction depends a lot on who my colleagues are. And I don't think this hiring practice precludes employees from evaluating other offers - if a company goes through this process and decides to extend an offer (and they're growing fast), they're likely to be willing to hold the offer for you while you evaluate other opportunities.
