I mocked up something years ago that started as a joke, which was a way to refer unwanted co-workers or employees to external competing recruiters so that the person might get hired away, instead of having to manage them out or fire them.
It was an exercise in finding market/culture taboos that were uncomfortable to challenge. The business model was a sales lead generation service, where recruiters could subscribe to updates of new candidates who were being referred "out" and who would have a higher likelihood of responding to incoming job opportunities.
Just because one person doesn't think you are a fit doesn't mean you aren't a fit somewhere else, if someone wants you out, you're probably weighing your options anyway. Instead of conflict, you can create opportunity. Lots of reasons it didn't work, like having an asshole-ware feel / offensive, I wanted to help the users but didn't think much about the real customers (recruiters), etc.
Anyway, I get what skiptheinterview is after, and if there is a single market with a bunch of legacy conventions ripe for disruption, it's hiring.
Not really a joke. When I worked for the government the head of my division had a problem with an engineer who was harassing a colleague. He addressed it by telling the guy to apply for jobs elsewhere and sent out lavish recommendations. The recommendations also overlooked the fact that he was an incompetent engineer.
