Now we're adding wage-theft on top of both assessing candidates on their disposable wealth, and accepting and keeping payment from them? The ethics get pretty muddy the further down this path we walk.


i find most things murky if you really try to walk for a while.

I always find it interesting how i'm perceived. I didn't intend wage-theft as part of the idea. Also it is possible that there's people who are qualified to do this work (passenger/commercial endorsements on their driver's license), good character actors, and generally ethical.

I took it all as a thought exercise, anyhow. Having been on the hiring side of the table, i'm not the "team fit" or "social" interviewer. Technical and creative questions. I let people in their fields deal with how their interviews go.

So all told i wouldn't be in the position to hire someone to filter potential hires.
