Haha. 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base - like it. It’s always bugged me with how much companies invest in the hiring process vs the actual work. Finding fake ways to simulate it early with coding challenges and the like. But this loose structure sounds way better.
Good to know you’re not overthinking it and incorporating the open and pow aspects of bitcoin/FOSS into recruitment.
Could probably write a book about it, if successful. The name reminds me of “The Knowledge” used for London taxi cabs. Except pretty much the opposite.
We'll see! Economically it only needs to produce a single hire to make sense because recruiters will charge nearly as much as The Trial could cost us, but in addition to a hire we get 5 man-months of work (in the ideal case).
“The Knowledge” sounds so romantic. Effort like that became old fashioned fast. If we want to see what AI will do to certain workers, you probably couldn't find better examples than what computers did to memory-workers or arithmetic-workers.
