The boss management company is then incentivized to hire incompetent bosses. Their entire business model is profitable in proportion to how often it fails.

The perverse incentive has to land somewhere; not sure there's a way to neutralize this one. But it's an interesting idea.

Maybe if you transparently advertise the success rate it would neutralise since hiring incompetent bosses would result in less sign-ups. That said, not sure you could accurately verify that number.
