I think it’s illegal in California for an employer to request, or accept, money to hire someone.

It’s creative, nothing wrong with a guy who hustles.

I offered to work for a month free for a job I really wanted, it was the start of my lifetime career.

What are the odds that this really does go on in other parts of the world?

I like the pitch. Of course the boss wouldn’t take the money, but the attitude is right. Putting his money where his mouth is. I’ve interviewed hundreds of people many who claimed they would be the best. It’s a little braggadocio, though. The boss may be hiring someone who is as much a showman as employee. Could be a disturbance and cause internal disgruntlement. The last thing employers want is a lot of turnover or an employee with a large ego that may not fit with the culture. I don’t know the job requirements but maybe worth a paid internship. Employee pays nothing, the boss pays minimum wage for a week or two to acclimate with the work culture, and and if specific goals are met it becomes a full salary full time job.

I’ve never heard of someone doing this for a job.
It’s creative and bold, but one has to wonder why no one else has already hired this person.
Sometimes a Gift Horse can be taken at face value, with no need to “look at him in the mouth”.

I found myself in a similar situation after being laid off from the energy industry in ‘83.. I was ready to pay for employment. Not finding work at home I turned my job searches abroad. Best choice I made and decided to return to the US at retirement age. Go abroad young man if you can’t find work at home. Bad times are coming again under Bidenomics, you can bet your ass and everything else you have. Don’t bet on America as long as Biden is here.

“The founder of Wingify received a unique proposition. “I’ll pay you $500 to hire me”

They should hire that person and make him/her the keeper of the company fortune.

Hey, I wonder if the same approach would work getting a job at the White House:

“Dear Joe & Jill:
I’ll give you $10,000 and kick back 25% of my salary if you will hire me to be the Assistant Deputy to the Deputy Assistant for Foyer Sweeping.”
