Hiring and vetting temporary staff for short job trials is costly, time-consuming, and attracting retaliatory threats from unsuitable candidates.

Existing platforms like Indeed don't effectively filter for character or work ethic, and don't provide a structured way to vet candidates during short paid trials, leading to wasted time and money.
