Also note that the costs of flying someone in right now is mitigated by the fact that all on-sites are virtual right now. And unemployed people in 2020/2021 may not have the luxury of being picky about a higher salary. You tried launching this in a weird year.

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.
