You could use the fact that a candidate has been verified to have interviews at a FAANG to let other tech companies poach them. Maybe a footer saying "Have you considered ACME Corp? (sponsored)" with a bidding system based on where they're interviewing or have interviewed.

Would HN consider that an invasion of privacy?

Not a violation of privacy if you get the users’ consent first. And I’m sure that there are people who would actually want this as a service.

Yes.
