But yes, you end up selecting people that:

1) Have smart-phones

2) Use them, and not have their kids mess with them

3)Use many of these services

4)Are not caught up in the SV non-compete bubble

5)Are good enough nonetheless

6)Are looking

This limits the use of this idea incredibly. Not to mention all the regular Federal issues of race, sex, creed, and orientation. If I were hiring, unless this were incredibly cheap, I'd stay far away from it. It's just plain creepy.
