It is likely that you will get scammed with this way of finding a trader that you will fund.
This is also one of the reasons why it is just better to learn and understand trading, come up with strategies that you know which came from your own experience and at your own expense.
He will get scammed if he look for a trader which doesn't have any reputation. But if he add something like KYC or have more proofs regarding on trading result plus he is well known personality in this forum maybe this scamming will less to happen.
I don't know maybe there's also the opposite potential that he might be the one to scam the trader he's saying that he'll fund. I'm just thinking of any probabilities here and what can possibly happen.
As for KYC, it does makes sense for him to verify that guy and the authencity but someone just use fake profiles and IDs over the internet.
So I hope OP know what he is doing and he can get a perfect trader for him since for taking this decision is really risky since we don't know how really good the people will avail his offer. Since usually if there's money involve for sure there's a lot of scammers out there will try to bait OP and scam his money. So be careful for trusting anyone since there's a lot of scammers here know how to easily deceive their potential victims.
Much better to do it on his own rather than finding someone to trade for him.
