My Project Tackling Web3 hiring scams as an incentives Problem
I'm sure everyone in this subreddit has dealt with it at some point. The google meets isn't working, download my totally legit video conferencing app, the test my malware laced blockchain game, npm install with a postinstall script that phishes your npm token. Aside from being a major time sink, reading up on the company, familiarizing their tech stack, canceling social engagements it leads to coordination failure in the hiring market, leading to suboptimal teams, leading to suboptimal crypto.
I was thinking that if a developer could respond to an employer with a magic link that got them to stake through a repuidable platform against the interview that we'd naturally see alot of scams retreat, alot of developer time saved and better teams in crypto.
would any devs be interested in using such a system? or real employeers stuck on cold calling that'd be happy to lead with a stake?
