Why would highly qualified engineers even sign up for this? Love the idea, but seems like most talented engineers I come across don't even have the chance to check their email short of having tons of inquiries from startups and other companies looking for their services.

It's an interesting idea and I wish whoever runs it the absolute best. I can tell the motivation here is to maximize the earning potential for a developer and find a good fit through a novel approach and I commend the thought.

I can't help but laugh at the idea of someone being auctioned off, though. Pretty sure they used to do this and you got the manacles with your purchase.

How invested is an employer going to be in a employee that he had to go into a bidding war for? I'm going to imagine a great deal. What happens if the individual just isn't a good fit for the role or the culture of the company?
