Show HN: We just launched June – get paid to talk with recruiters
- godzillabrennus 11y agoWhat kind of a company would pay me to talk with their recruiter?
- cenal 11y agoMy advisor Peteris posted this on here. I am the CEO, and to answer your question, the first customer who signed up (before we even launched) was Amazon. We have had hundreds of companies interested in paying qualified people to pitch them a job. I owned a staffing company and found that it was less expensive to pay candidates for their time than it was to pay someone to try and get them on a phone to pitch them a job.
- jjoe 11y agoSomething about this doesn't feel right. Unfortunately I can't express it so it's useful to you. But keywords that create conflict in my head are: elite, candidates, less expensive, recruiter, pay. Perhaps this explains the understandably defensive posts here. The idea is interesting but the wording is a bit snobbish. Good luck!
- cenal 11y agoThanks for the feedback! We are going to work on the messaging some more to ensure we strike the right balance when talking with the people we want to onboard.
- riddlemethat 11y agoWhat makes you think that I want to be paid to talk to a recruiter?
- cenal 11y agoWe have already had some amazing candidates with world changing skills join the platform. While it may not suit everyone this is definitely popular amongst the people that companies are searching for.
- skimpycompiler 11y agoWell, you as a co-founder should know the answer to the question.
