The survey was designed to help employers too - it's a large expense for them to interview, especially including indirect expenses.

A weird market should actually call for more screening like this, because expectations can be all over the place right now.

I certainly can do more "things that don't scale" but so far the response has been limited, so that I'm not even sure if it's a matter of reaching more people or it's just not something employers want.
