LemonLime, a small AI startup that helps companies optimize data for AI, has been using attention-grabbing tactics to recruit developers. One stunt required job applicants to score perfectly on its “Is it a Lemon or a Lime?” game, while another offered interviews to people willing to get the company’s logo tattooed on themselves.
According to Inc., seven people took the tattoo deal during a party, generating significant negative publicity. The startup has since admitted the tattoo-for-interview stunt was reckless.
