Similar story.

I worked at a polling company out of college owned by a Standford professor. My first task: After a poll is finished online, match that with voter records (using emails and addresses).

My first question was: "Well, that is a cool idea, but, there is no way the government would release a huge database of every california voter and their party affiliation. Let alone, the users entering in online poll information would extend that database to include their actual vote. There is no way this is possible.... right?"

Standford professor's response: "Do you want it in CSV?"

tl;dr;

"Look. We are just trying to exit with a billion dollars like everyone else in SF. We don't want to walk over the homeless either, but, it is super expensive to help them. So we propose just ignoring it until we get paid. Vote no on prop C!"

Great idea. I am jealous. I thought of this exact same thing. The issue is: how to make money? It is difficult to charge the broke job seeker [ironically, it wont be the guy flush with offers using this app - it will be the guy struggling]. On the other hand, it is difficult to charge the recruiters unless you have the linkedin type volume. Even if you do, recruiters wont like the quality since these interviewees are struggling so hard they need an app to track failed interviews.

Have the rich write laws to tax themselves? We hope so.
