Originally it was built as the inverse. A signal that recruiters could use to tell them which “passive candidates” could be more willing to change jobs.

A customer asked if it could be used internally (we already had their ATS/HRIS data) so a new feature was born.

Yes money was a motive but this particular feature didn’t seem like an evil idea to be used to increase employee misery.

That said, We did build some things that I do regret now.
