This sounds like trying to get rid of rats by paying for dead rats, someone will start farming rats.

I see only trouble with this approach.

Just hire good people, treat them right, have sensible audit and monitoring procedures.

You used the “just” word there. Minimizing the difficulty of complex problems is a good way to discredit yourself.

How do you tell competent employees from incompetent ones? By the number of certificates? By the number years in industry? By school? By leetcode score? By salary asked?

It's very difficult.

By paying attention.

edit: By which I mean 1) audit your processes and 2) get to know your people.

Processes require good engineering to thrive; people require good management. When you confuse the two, you get problems.

I have read more than one story of rat-catching incentives ultimately leading to discovery of rat farming.
