"(ESTA is only for personal visits, not business IIRC)"

It's for both both business and pleasure - says right there on the ESTA home page:

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

"You plan to travel to the United States for business or pleasure."

NB I've travelled a few times the US over the last few years on business using ESTA so you had me slightly worried there!

As far as I'm aware, there is a big difference between travelling to the US (and many other countries) to conduct business, and seeking employment. I think it's the first one that is covered by ESTA...
