Oh, well if you haven't heard of it, it must not exist. I'm apologize for knowing something you didn't and offending you by saying it's good.
Even that article is talking about it like it's some weird new idea that's "gaining traction" (reading between the lines means that this is an idea that doesn't have traction.)
It's also written by some LinkedIn "editor," so basically some chud whose job is to produce blog spam about the job market.
And the only two examples he could offer are some non profit in Toronto, and another based in the UK that I don't think even exists anymore as of a year later.
And his poll reports 5% of 3000-some responses saying this is a thing, that's gonna have some major biases because the only people who are even gonna see this poll are the kinds of weirdos who give a shit what this LinkedIn idiot says, and that sample live reflects a miniscule fraction of a percent that really can't be interpreted as a all representative of the millions of people who have had job interviews. I can't see the actual wording of how he phrased it's because I'm not gonna install the LinkedIn app, but he could also have skewed the question in a way that would include stuff like getting compensated for travel expenses to attend an interview, which is something you might reasonably expect in some cases.
Besides that and a few people like you around the internet, I really can't see anywhere saying that this is even remotely a thing, it's something that a handful of employers might do but they're a statistical anomaly.
Or they're a pyramid scheme offering you a $50 gift card to show up and "interview" to sell steak knives.
Once again, I apologize that I seem to have on offended you by knowing about a thing you did not and describing it as "not expected" (i.e., uncommon) but a thing good companies do. I'm sorry you think this only exists in a "fantasy land" and that you believe only a "chud" (look up what that actually refers to) would write about a worker-friendly practice gaining traction. I can easily see why this thing that has nothing to do with you personally would trigger such an emotional response.
