Unsure if this actually makes the process more fair. A lot of job seekers probably don't want all of their history carried with them. A previous employer that could've been a bad fit could ruin your future if you don't have a clean slate.

Yeah, I believe so.
I think it's an interesting idea. One thing to note, though, is the whole saying "it's journey, not the destination." I think some people would prefer to experiment and try new things for themselves; however, I do feel that there is room for such a product that provides a good enough experience to "try" something out without completely investing all of your time into it. If you can find the appropriate balance between the two, I think it would be pretty cool.
Modern online brokers already have the option to "mirror" another trader's trades (i.e. I say "I want to copy this person" and I make every trade they do, at the same time). How will you compete with these?
What stops a company like bitly from doing something like this? How would you compete with them?
I agree that it would be a much more pleasurable experience if conversations were on the operators time, however, wouldn't this be a tough sell to a business? How would you convince the business that this approach could yield better results (outside of customer satisfaction within support)?
