#13> The hiring process is in the form of a paid, short-term consulting gig that will lead to a full-time offer if we like you and you like us. We'll give you some tasks, you'll get them done, and then we'll talk. No need to quit your day job to do this gig; we'll work around your schedule. Interesting. I look forward to hearing if this works out long term. I'd be worried about legal implications of something like this…
What would you think is illegal about it? They make it clear that age is not an issue.

I mean, they say outright they hire old people and they hire young people. So I think you can make the argument fairly easily that that group includes everyone and that they are not discriminating.
They meant employer NDAs, etc.

Not GP, but I assumed they are talking about the part that they quoted —- consulting gig while on another job, not any discrimination worries.

Most of the publicity will result in job applications from old people
