Yeah, ngl I'm entertaining myself just thinking about this concept of exchanging something (not necessarily money) between applicant and company. It creates finite number of applications able to be created which would greatly reduce the number of applications they would need to go through, but it guaranteeing an interview basically negates the time it saves for the company, however it definitely benefits the applicant.

The problem with this sort of system is that it doesn't take into effect the people who are desperate for a job and need the most help. In a system where those people are taken care of in other ways, then it'd be a sorta good system especially if it's not money being exchanged between applicant and company, but maybe rather a cryptographic token or something.

If I had to guess, I think a system like this would probably worsen the workforce as a whole.
