Tinder for jobs. Swipe to interview.
- rafamvc 2y agoI'd risk say the dating market is even more broken *because* of tinder.
- ativzzz 2y agoIt just changes the game so that people who learn to play it win even more because most people never bother learning. For dating (tinder especially), good photos are important. Many people, and men especially, do not have good photos of them. None of my male friends even take photos, and if they do, they are not flattering or of them wearing nice clothes that make them look attractive. Nor would some of them be attractive because they are overweight and not in shape or dress like middle schoolers And that's just looks. Interviewing is the same. People who play the game (networking, leetcode, etc) win by getting the high salary jobs, and everyone else has to fight for the scraps
- jeltz 2y agoAfter looking at Tinder both from men's and women's I would say women pit even less effort into photos than men do. But maybe this varies by country. No, I don't want another gym photo of you standing in an awkward pose. And, yeah, I'd like to think I am at least decent at both games if only because I realize they are games.
- rrr_oh_man 2y agoTo extend the metaphor: As a job seeker, you need to be in the 90th percentile. As an employer, you need to be there.
- tkellogg 2y agoThis is obviously a joke, but I wonder if there's something to it. A recommendation engine to surface interesting jobs to a candidate, and quality candidates to an employer. It seems like recruiters/sourcers are inefficient at doing it. The trouble is getting critical mass.
- kayodelycaon 2y agoAdd a social network for people to meet and I think you've just described LinkedIn.
- samatman 2y agoHonestly, build it. The same thing which makes Tinder a blight on human happiness would make the format an excellent way to pair jobs with job seekers.
- aethertron 2y agoWhat's that thing? Much harm is attributed to Tinder and I don't know how to boil it all down to something that would be a positive for jobseeking.
