Cool project & pretty interesting stack. Congrats on the launch!
I have a few questions, though. Your FAQ says:
> A company is looking for someone with a skill that you have. They find your CV on this website. They tell us they're interested. You get an email from us asking you if you're interested as well. Only if you are interested as well, we'll share your email address with them.
That's fine... but thinking purely from a candidate's/job seeker's POV, I might need certain questions answered before I can say that I'm interested. For instance, I normally don't agree to interviews until I know if a job is fully remote, and until I have at least a ballpark idea of compensation, benefits, contract status, length etc. Will I be expected to communicate all these questions directly to the companies themselves on a one-on-one basis? At that point, what's the value proposition for me as a candidate here? It's just LinkedIn lite with a far smaller reach. I'll still have to do the same song and dance as if I were dealing with your garden variety LinkedIn recruiters.
What I'm trying to say here is that skill-matching is only one part of the sourcing and hiring process. And that it may well not be enough to provide enough information for either party to ascertain if it's worth investing a significant amount of their time.
I hope you'll take my questions in good faith as they were absolutely meant in that manner. I did sign up and will definitely keep an eye out as the platform grows. Good luck!
- harryvederci 4y agoThanks for your feedback, and yes, this is definitely on the roadmap! For now the focus is mainly on the creation of CVs, but I'll be adding criteria to both the employer's side (= search) and the CV creator's preferences (= manage). Examples: - How many steps is the interview process? - Remote vs on-prem work? If remote: what time zones are you available to work in? If locally, how long are you willing to travel (/ which city do you want to live or work in)? - Salary. I don't know why this is such an issue to say for companies. Maybe they'll be more okay with saying it up front if the CV creator is willing to say what they want to earn up front? -> Feedback is very welcome here! - Maybe something like "don't bother reaching out to me if I won't be using technology X"? - Etc. Not having enough ideas is never an issue for me, often I have too many :)
