IP aside, anyone else concerned about the business of HiQ?

I presume what they are doing is:

* Scrape profiles.

* Calculate time delta in jobs.

* 'Predict' churn rate for (prospective) employee.

With respect to prospective employees in particular this seems likely to entail lots of risks. Average job time delta is going to be a massively overdetermined variable, and noisy wrt 'next job delta'. I'm worried how they're going to sell that to employers.
