Honestly this product discriminates against tons of people and would make the hiring process much worse. I hope it doesn't succeed as I believe this product would make the world a worse place.

I have an anxiety condition, this would be awful for me, for others with anxiety conditions, for introverts, for people with families, for people who care more about work than about networking.

I disagree that most hiring depends on referrals. I recently did a job search and didn't use any referrals. I have anxiety about posting an anonymous comment on a board to a stranger I have never met and don't care anything about. I can't just invite my manager to speak about my capabilities. Also what if my manager was toxic?
