Been hearing from colleagues about a flood of applicants, and within those, a large majority have no business applying (i.e. no visa support, not in appropriate city, not right general skills, fake person).

So how early in the process:

1) initial resume upload & pre-screening questions 2) second pass for more info 3) initial discovery call (5-30 minutes)

TIA.

To protect the innocent/guilty, I won't name the company here.

1. Need a data source, which previously was open for commercial use, for one of my MVP features

2. After a merger, company now offers a "no-cost" license to use so long as proper attribution is given and brief approval process is completed. Have been talking with them off/on multiple times for 12 months to gain access. Seems I am too small a company for them to really pay attention to regardless of their public statements re: access. I have even asked them to come up with a "per api call" fee that was fair to both parties (until I can get bigger and pay their ~$5K average minimum fee) but no luck so far.

3. Came across an academic study on github which used this company's data from 1 year ago.

Am I allowed to use the old data set for my internal research and commercial purposes? I only want to do the right thing.

Thanks in advance!
