Even then, I can imagine that several people only discover that they aren’t in fact ok with dozens of large spiders climbing through their heads after it happens.

I feel like the interview wasn’t explicit about the conditions. They probably phrased it gently. “Are you alright with wolf spiders finding their way onto you?”
“Naturally”, the potential employee thinks. “Wolf spiders are amongst the least dangerous spiders. I’m fine with their occasional company.”
What they should have asked was “are you capable of tolerating dozens of wolf spiders motivatedly crawling over your head, torso, and arms for hours at a time without reprieve? To become a gathering ground during their apocalypse? To be their Noah’s ark?” That is a question that provokes a sincere answer.

To be their Noah’s ark?
When you put it like that, it sounds rad as hell. I’m in

I love spiders. I don’t want them on my face.
Also, it seems like it should be a dedicated job to get the spiders out of the bog. If you’re out there working and you’re covered in spiders, a fair number of them are going to get squished. Nobody wants that. The spiders don’t want to hang out on your body, they want to get to dry land.

Some dollar store inflatable tubes or rafts + maybe a more grippy material would provide a nice place for the spiders and limit the amount on humans

Maybe just put out some wooden posts in the field.

Especially if they were tethered to something on land so they could get off.
