I cant tell if this is a great idea or an episode of black mirror
And if you match, it takes you to a little scheduler to get both of you to an initial interview
Okay there are FLAWS in this pitch but what if instead of having ai run all parts of hiring, we make Tinder but for jobs. Instead of photos of you, it would be your resume, and you could add relevant portfolio photos or projects. Youd filter by field, job title, etc

A converted motel isnt going to have like, decent lighting. Sime kind of accomodation for storage. Its for artists the same way van goghs asylum room was for artists
I saw a flyer for "affordable artist studios" that were $950 in denver. Sadly, $950 seems like the lower end for rent in denver currently but calling that affordable is like calling a cow a hamburger. Lot of steps before you get there.

Also, advertising it for artists is another level of cruel-
