Interesting, so the idea is sort of acting like an automated HR sourcing agency by using "invited by 'big tech', rejected on 2nd interview" as a heuristic to find suitable candidates?

EDIT: The execution is certainly suspicious though. At first I thought this was a new official YC project, until I saw it apparently has no affiliation at all? Also, no imprint, no "Show HN:" type of launch post and from a new (<1h) account..

Yes! Using that as a heuristic. Althought its not ideal, it will probably give far better "signal to noise" ratio of "qualified" candidates vs. normal applications. The intention was originally not this, it just grew from the frustration from applying to Big Tech, getting far, then getting rejected, and feeling of having wasted my time and starting from zero again. Now maybe people in my situation can use past semi-successful interview processes to get new opportunities. That's the original intention.

No it's not!
