Are there job candidates out there so good you’d hand them a check just for taking the time to talk to you? May sound crazy, but the creators of NotchUp.com don’t think so.

The site recently launched and is currently in a beta, invite-only form.

Heres how it works: Job candidates post their resumes and set their own per interview price (the site provides a calculator to help people figure out how much their time is worth – normally around 500 bucks, depending on the candidate’s industry, experience and current salary). Then companies search through the pool, set up interviews and fork over the dough.

Interesting, but is it a good idea? Most HR folks don’t seem to think so. In a poll by InsideRecruiting 80% of folks said they wouldn’t use it. NotchUp claims its a way to reach passive candidates (people not actively seeking new jobs). Also they compare the amount you’d pay to interviewees with the costs of using a recruiter and posting ads on job boards. Problem is, its not likely to replace those other tools. And the fact that someone will come see you in exchange for cash doesn’t mean they’re any more serious about working for you.
