Yeezys for an interview?

We are growing our SDR team and after I heard the amount we spend advertising the positions I had this idea. Start giving everyone we interview a pair of Yeezy's. Our SDR demographic will love them, it's cheaper than our current process, and everyone walks away wanting to work for us. I know they should because of our pay, culture, advancement, BUT it's so hard to hire out here right now I just wanted to see what my fellow sales savages think...

Note: We would only give them to those we interview with the goal of getting more applications.

Do you think this could work?

If you were talking AJ1s of AJ4s I'd back your decision and ask you to give me a pair for testing purposes...but Yeezys?? BING BONG FYL.

What's wrong with a hiring bonus?

I like the idea of something other than a hiring bonus. It is about setting yourself apart, which is what companies need to do when they recruit.

I think this is hilarious, but I don't think this would work well

I'm not sure. I like the idea and it might work for the first few but then you'll just have people coming for the free Yeezys and the whole process becomes pointless

I mean as a new hire perk maybe but giving people yeezys to interview with you sounds like you will be attracting the wrong type of candidate

I hate to break it to you but people aren’t going to want to work for you because you bought them shoes.
I also think you’re going to attract a ton of losers with this method
