Well, my favorite domain. As the standard saying goes, recruiting is hard. It mostly about matching candidates and company's expectation and they tend to wildly fluctuate.
Hired, A-List, Vettery, Indeed Prime all fit in the same category. A market place for pre-filtered candidates with known expectations(salary range), Why more than one of these exist, I have no idea. There is nothing innovative in all these companies, just a fancy recruiting firm.
Triplebyte on the other hand definitely trying to change the Status Quo by letting candidates avoid multiple phone interviews. But while it works for limited set of candidates, scaling interviews while still maintaining quality is super tough. Beyond these, there are standard job boards and of course, LinkedIn for networking.
I see the traditional recruiting domain as the following parts:
1. Job discovery(job boards, search engine, distributions(aka zip recruiter).
2. ATS(Applicant tracking systems) which help companies manage interview process.
3. Screening and Preparation(Hackerrank, Leetcode etc)
A lot could be done in each of the following areas, but there's not much innovation so far.
- AznHisoka 8y agoWhat could be done in innovation for job boards?
- vthallam 8y agoFor a start, showing the most relevant details. Tech stack, whether they support Visa/Relocation, % of the people who heard back when they have applied(is it worth candidates time to even look at it). Also better filtering with multiple parameters, more personalization(beyond tags)
- itronitron 8y agoalso showing past history of job postings from an employer and whether they were filled or just reposted every few months... in other words is the job posting real or just a fishing expedition?
