What I like the most is that the best strategy is to look only at numbers and not to care about people at all. And this is a conclusion to which the player comes himself, not because the game told him to.
The idea of people, turning into numbers on pieces of paper and of the man, who has power over them, turning into a machine processing these numbers is great. I only wish it was emphasized more and developed deeper.
It reminded me Papers please in a good way.
I think it has potential. The tension can be risen by adding timers to each resume. There could be an overarching story. For example, declined people can come back in worse and worse condition, or bring bandits with them to seek revenge.
