LemonLime, a small startup focused on optimizing data for artificial intelligence systems, has deployed unconventional hiring methods to recruit developers. The company created a branded game to evaluate candidates and organized an event where individuals could secure job interviews by agreeing to receive permanent tattoos featuring the company logo. Seven people participated in this arrangement at a company gathering. The unorthodox recruitment tactic attracted substantial media coverage, though primarily negative in tone, according to reports from Inc. magazine.
