I love the idea! "Hard-to-employ" person. That's me! How about a category for Whistleblowers, so a curated group can draw specific talent from that unique candidate. The most intelligent thoughts I've come across came from Twitter, I am more inclined to believe their opinions.

Prison inmates have been used very successfully to fight forest fires. The Forest Service is very happy with inmates that have been curated by prison systems. Imagine how much good it does prisoners to get out and be heroes.

Sounds a little like fantasy football betting. Bettors assemble a virtual team of real individuals based on individual statistics, the bettor's assessment of likelihood of good performance, etc
