Hahaha.

I think you would be selecting the exactly wrong applicant. Why would one pay for a chance to make you money?

Anyone you want to hire probably has enough other places where application is free.

If anything, you should be paying people for the time they spend interviewing. That would 1) make sure you are incentivized to only bring in people who have a good chance, 2) give you a chance to woo great people who might already be happy where they are.
