Another terrible idea, in my opinion.

When an employee interviews with a company, the company should decide if the employee gets a job, not a visa.

When a PhD candidate defends a dissertation, the university should decide if the student gets a degree, not a visa.

When an entrepreneur applies for venture capital, the investor should decide if the entrepreneur gets money, not a visa.

And yes, when a buyer makes an offer on a house, the seller should decide whether the buyer will get the house, not a visa

None of these people should control whether a person gets to reside in the united states, and giving them this power is an invitation to government sponsored abuse.
