On: The Hiring Post

[bduerst]

Resale is incentive to be honest - i.e. you place a good candidate, they hiring company will come back to you.

Hired.com will turn away people they don't think of as good candidates, but usually after people manually review their profile.

Yeah, but I think the resale factor is exaggerated. If they send you a "good" candidate, you might go back to them, but they're just finding the first "good" candidate they can rather than finding the "best".

I wonder if The Secretary Problem could be used to calculate data points for whether a candidate is good or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem
