I think that the problem is that everyone sees the hiring market as a zero sum game where there can only be 1 winner. So everyone wants to make scalable, efficient, and generalized solutions for the whole market. I don't think that's the case. Junior engineers and Senior engineers have vastly different problems and preferences to their job search, 10x engineers don't even job search lol, and startups, depending on so many different factors and reasons, want different types of engineers. What exactly makes people think this is a "one fit all" solution? The job market is incredibly fragmented and has way too many edge cases for a single ATS or service. I think that everyone looks at the swe job market as a multi-billion dollar market and in reality it's more like a series of fragmented million dollar markets.
- v1l 6y agoI couldn't agree with you more, which is why tools/solutions that try to cater to all and sundry actually end up losing ground over time. I believe there's room for an ATS that serves a certain niche of the market and nails it.
