I built recruiting tech for 4 years, and I'll say this is likely a winner of an idea IF you don't go to the VC route and instead make it a personal business.
What will be (very) hard:
- Finding candidates at the right time. CAC on this can be insane. You have to solve your top of funnel somehow -- specific ads on coding practice websites might help, or partnerships. This won't scale very well beyond tech at all, but in tech you could theoretically pull it off w/ ~50-100 candidates per week. And that's a sweet personal business right there.
- Scale recruiting business model, whether $/intro or % salary/hire.
- Getting companies to move fast enough and counseling candidates to not just pull the trigger on their first offer. You might see a selection bias here, though, which is good.
What will be easy:
- Most recruiting platforms struggle because they have to filter our a bunch of under-performing candidates. Here, you filter upfront. No offer? Don't apply.
