Novel idea to reward hiring companies for exhibiting good behaviours - surely this will be easily gamed though?

Hey, its Hung, CEO here.

Thanks for your comment - this is something we have thought long and hard about. We have placed restrictions against obvious gaming tactics (i.e requiring added team member to have the same email domain AND verify it before awarding the credit) and will be relying on these, as well as the vigilance of the community to help us identify bad actors on the platform.

As with any response strategy, its an evolving game for us. We'll keep a very close eye on how employers behave and will respond accordingly

Nice concept - Main concern would be for me that the data points wouldn't apply outside web-development, E.g. game-developers or low-level roles. Cool though.
